Private Tour of Masada, Dead Sea and Ein Gedi
Beautiful drive through one of the world’s smallest desert.
Option for a Jeeping tour through the desert- Anyone with a driver’s license can take the front wheel.
Option for Camel Rides. Can also visit "Abraham's Tent"
Masada- We will take the cable car up to Israel’s 2nd most visited site, famous for the Great Jewish Revolt which will climax with the destruction of the Second Temple. The last stand of the revolt took place here and with Masada’s fall came the Jewish Exile which continues to affect us to this day. Beautiful view of the Dead Sea from the top.
Swimming in the Dead Sea - More like floating. Feel free to read a newspaper while floating on the water. The saltiest body of water on earth and rich in minerals, the water is great for the skin. The Dead Sea's therapeutic waters have been known since the Roman Times.
Cleopatra had this sea seized for her. Dead Sea skin products
are sold all over the world.
Ein Gedi - An easy, family friendly hike in a desert, freshwater oasis. Although the Judean desert is barren (50 mm of rain a year), plenty of water is found here. Besides the beautiful plants and usual spotting of Hyraxes (type of rodent) and Ibex (gazelles), there is an option for swimming in its cool natural pools. See why when King David fled from Shaul, he came here.
Some of the other sites we can visit that day include:
Lot’s Wife at Mount Sodom
Ein Gedi Talmudic Synagogue-
View of Jericho
Qumran

"Our time with Nosson was the highlight of our trip. Nosson has a deep knowledge of Israel, its history and biblical relevance. There were many exhibits we saw which are not always well known that really added to our experience. Spending a day with Nosson was enjoyable and very interesting. He went at the speed that suited our needs and made adjustments to incorporate our interests. We plan to take further tours with Nosson when we return to Israel."
