★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 757 reviews · from $111

Review of the Masada and Dead Sea day trip from Jerusalem, with cable-car views, desert history, floating time, costs, and practical tips.

“Not enough time spent at Masada, didn’t get to see majority of the sights. Whole day feels like they’re trying to sell you on something or another. Lunch is forced at a restaurant/gift shop in Qumran which is overpriced and not good. Overall a cheaper way to see Masada and the Dead Sea than a private tour but you have to put up with a lot of nuisances.”

“Very cool and knowledgeable guide! Everything was relaxed and well organised. Meeting point is in the hostel. We chose this trip because we didn’t want to spent a whole day, and it was excellent. We had 1.5 h at the dead see which was plenty, we didn’t want more. The ‚beach‘ and premises are like a 1 star hotel from the 70s. But you could still enjoy swimming and get mud from the ground of the see. You just need to find a spot approx. 2 meters from the shore and dig. Good value for money.
