Highly recommended tour !
We really enjoyed this activity. The hike up in the darkness and reaching the top at sunrise was absolutely amazing as the weather was a bit cooler. It got hot by the time we were in ein gedi but absolutely beautiful there too! We ended the tour with swimming / floating in the Dead Sea and covering us in the mud.

Excellent tour
I absolutely loved the Jerusalem and Dead sea tour. Everything was well organised, Telma was an awesome guide and the tour is a must do if you are wondering about it. On request I was also picked up with a taxi from Herzliya at no additional cost.

When to visit

The Dead Sea is a must-see for any first-time visitor to the region.
Dead Sea tours can last upwards of 10 hours.
Pack some water shoes to protect your feet from the rough salt at the bottom of the sea.
Wear an old bathing suit, as the salty water and mineral-rich mud can discolor fabrics.
Don’t shave for at least a day or two before your Dead Sea swim, as the salt can sting.
People Also Ask
Is it worth visiting the Dead Sea?
Yes, the historically significant Dead Sea is worth visiting. This “salt sea” was named in the Bible, and today it's a place to float weightlessly in the water—a sensation that's worth experiencing. What’s more, the mineral-rich water is chock full of therapeutic benefits, so it’s good for you too.
Should you book Dead Sea tours in advance?
Yes, it never hurts to book in advance, but it may not always be necessary. Schedule private trips with customized itineraries well in advance. For shared excursions, making a reservation one or two days ahead of departure is usually enough, since there are many tour operators offering Dead Sea trips.
Which month is best to visit the Dead Sea?
The best time to visit the Dead Sea is in spring and autumn, although the salt lake can be visited year-round. The Dead Sea gets scorching hot in summer—the water can reach 90°F (32°C). And air temperatures can be brisk in winter. Aim for the milder seasons if possible.
Are there restrooms at the Dead Sea?
Yes. Public Dead Sea beaches have bathrooms, open-air showers (to wash off the salt), and changing rooms. You won’t be lacking in amenities, which is a good thing. Note that peeing in the Dead Sea isn't advised as it can sting due to the water’s high salt content.
What do you see on a tour of the Dead Sea?
Depending on which tour of the Dead Sea you choose, it might include a stop at Ein Gedi Nature Reserve for a hike through the desert oasis. Some early morning itineraries stop in the hilltop fortress of Masada to see the ancient panoramic ruins. Still others include only beach time.
What should I bring to the Dead Sea?
Bring a towel and sunscreen to the Dead Sea, plus a hat or other sun protection for when you’re lounging on the shore (the UV rays are strong). You can also pack water and snacks, although there are refreshments on-site. Boutiques at the Dead Sea also sell packs of mud.
