1.Masada and the Dead Sea Day Trip from Jerusalem

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

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