This self-guided tour will give you the chance to discover some of Israel's most beautiful sights at your own pace. Departing in the early hours of the morning from Tel Aviv, you'll board a bus and drive through the dark desert to the foot of the ancient stone fortress of Masada. After a moderate 45-minute hike up the Snake Path, you'll be rewarded with views as the sun rises over the desert landscapes below.

The bus will then take you to Ein Gedi Reserve, a desert oasis where you'll have time to hike or take a swim in its pools and springs. Finally, you'll get to visit the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea. There, you'll have 90 minutes to float in the salty water and immerse yourself in the therapeutic mud before returning to Tel Aviv.
