Masada and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve Day Trip from Tel Aviv

Travel into the heart of the Judean Desert on a day trip from Tel Aviv, and visit two of Israel's must-see sites: the mountain-top fortress of Masada and Edi Gedi -- a stunning nature reserve and desert oasis. After riding to the Masada's summit by cable car, explore the UNESCO World Heritage site with a guide, discovering the ruins of King Herod's ancient palace complex. In the afternoon, travel to Ein Gedi, and cool down with a walk around the oasis' waterfalls.
