Itinerary
Begin your day trip with a pickup from your central Tel Aviv hotel. Board your air-conditioned coach and travel through the plains and mountains of the Judean Desert to the Dead Sea.
Along the way, hear about the region’s ancient past and pass the site of the Inn of the Good Samaritan, thought to be the location of the much-loved biblical parable.
Glimpse the ancient city of Jericho in the distance and catch sight of the shimmering Dead Sea as you descend to this extraordinary salt lake. Located at the lowest point on Earth — around 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level — its waters are over 10 times saltier than sea water and contain a rich blend of natural minerals.
Arrive at a Dead Sea set by the water’s edge and enjoy ample free time to relax and enjoy your surroundings as you wish. Take a ‘swim’ in the salt-rich waters, lounge on the shore, and enjoy refreshments (own expense) at the café. Perhaps enjoy a mud bath in the world's richest source of natural salts or indulge in the therapeutic mud treatments (own expense) at the spa.
Your tour then ends with a hotel drop-off in Tel Aviv.

We didn’t get what we signed up for. We were supposed to have ~ 2.5 hours at the dead sea after making a few stops before. Well first we stopped at some cheesy Elvis rest stop for coffee. There was no significance of this nor was it needed. Our guide asked asked if we wanted to go with rest of group to Masada. We said no we had been already that’s why we booked Dead Sea only. After, we stopped at the lowest point sign as advertised which was good. Then they dropped us off at the Dead Sea at 930am and said they’d be back and we’d all leave at 330pm. That seemed long but at the time didn’t realize how long that was. That was way too long. But to make matters worse at 330 we found guide and he said it was now moved to 430pm. At that point we said no we need to leave. This was way longer than what we signed up for. We were supposed to be back in Tel Aviv at 440pm according to our confirmation. Anyway the guide did find us another ride back. He was great But the trip itself was not at all what we signed up for. Don’t advertise 2.5 hours at the Dead Sea when it’s really 6-7. Wouldn’t not use this company agsin

We started the tour with the promise of a coffee break to have breakfast, which didn’t occur. Then the four of us whom book this tour, we’re dropped on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea, alone, for a “relaxation day”, which had nothing of relaxing. Crowded, laud, horrible facilities and also expensive.
After 6 hours they came for us, and after one hour trip, two wheels of the bus exploded. I can say thanks god I arrived safely.
Response from Host, May 2023
There are very few beaches available for a day on the Dead Sea.
We try our best where we can visit but cannot be held responsible.
We will pass this review on to the Beach management.
(Hotels 65km south! have private beaches with Spa facilities etc at a much higher price! )

The guide was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the Dead Sea. I wish someone offered a shorter tour just to the Dead Sea and back.
Hilda_B, Jun 2022
Amazing joy and experience being in salt water, floating and pulling soft black muds from the grounds and robbing it on your skin. I can not describe the feeling but I hope everyone would get the opportunity to experience this incredible moment and completely relax. Thank you Viator for connecting me to best tours.

Thanks so much for sharing this complementary review of your tour guided by Yuval and our tour itinerary. So glad it was an enjoyable and great day at the Dead Sea. Come again there's lots more to explore with us

Hey people, I have used the opportunity to go to the Dead Sea Spa. As we were the only ones in the group we have preferred to visit Masada after kindly asked the group to take us with them. The trip was well organized, many things well explained. The quality of the services was very good. We saw the desert for the first time and it was exciting. The beauty of Masada is special. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth and the properties of the water itself is extraordinary. The beach was clean, well maintained. Grab with you some supplies and there is also food and drinks in shops. Enjoy and have a beautiful time!

I had two tours with Viator, there supplier is Bein Harim, Ltd. I toured Jerusalem and Bethlehem on one day, and the other Masada and Dead Sea. Can I just say amazing!!!! I was blessed to have Yoav, as a tour guide for both tours. Yoav, was very knowledgable, professional, kind hearted and fun!!! Ave and Hannie were the drivers equally as amazing!! Thank you.

This was a great experience. I was only going to the Dead Sea on my bucket list and our tour guide Itamar, recommended going to Masada too. I'm so glad that he did as it made a great day and even better experience.
Barry R, Sep 2017
Hotel pick up to transfer point was well organised and dropped off directly to our hotel at the end. What more is there to say about that! Trip was wonderful with Itimar as a great informative guide throughout with plenty of helpful tips to make the day as smooth as possible. Dead sea certainly is an exceptional experience but please be careful to and from the waters edge as can be unsteady ground at times.
Vladimir B, Jun 2017
The tour was ok, but I dont know what they mean about Spa and Wellness, because there was a small chair for massage outside, that was all, no swiming pool or any other procedures... Chairs on the beach are for free, that was ok. The guide was very nice, he spoke very interestingly. There is restaurant in buffet style, not cheap and food was nothing special.
Cathryn M, Jun 2017
Ended up also going to see Masada on the suggestion of Yaov our tour guide. Was really glad that I did. He is
very knowledgeable and a good teacher, it was worth seeing in addition to spending time floating on the Dead Sea.
Matthew H, Oct 2016
The basic requirements were met, with some great background info,bus was late picking us up and dropping us off.
Alisa E, Jun 2016
Tour was good, guide gave lots of information on the trip to Dead Sea. Driver was good but drove very slowly. The tour said we would visit ( short stop) at Qumran Cave, but we did not visit this sight.
Our tour was combined with a trip to Musada, so we were dropped at the Dead Sea for the day

Tour was on a small mini bus that lends to closer and intimate camarederie with other tourists of no more than 12. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and gracious.
Elizabeth C, Apr 2015
Very enjoyable day, well organised with a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide.
Mr N G Klein K, Jul 2014
Great tour guide, lots of helpful information and really friendly. Smooth drive, no problems. Only criticism, the 5 hours allocated for the dead sea spa trip was probably too generous, 3 hours would have been more than enough!
Trevor_F, Jun 2014
We originally booked only for the Dead Sea and Wellness Spa Day tour but on route reconsidered as we were travelling on the same coach as those who were doing the Masada and Dead Sea combined tour and was pleased we had made the change as I feel for the long coach trip to the Dead Sea it wasn't worth spending the several hours simply lazing by the Dead Sea whilst the hour tour and the lunch break at Masada was an interesting and informative trip and you could still spend an hour or two at the Dead Sea, enough I feel.
kerri s, Apr 2014
Very unorganized. What I thought was a half day tour ended up being 12 hours mostly because of the lack of organizational skills and I was unaware when I booked that they were sending me with a company I did a tour with the day before and didn't like the company.
Jordan M K, May 2013
We thought the trip would just be a ride to the dead sea and back (which is hard and expensive to do on your own), but it was much longer. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to a central station, from there we made a stop in Jerusalem to pick up others, and then it appeared that we were on our way. However, even after that we made a stop in an area for people to take pictures with camels and the Ahava factory. Overall, the 2 hour drive took close to 4 hours.
The Dead Sea area they took us to was very nice and had a decent cafe. Spa services were weak and I would not recommend them.
Bo Christian S, Nov 2012
Good guide. The facilities at the spa were not impressive, but OK.
Karen S, Nov 2012
Our Tour Guide, "Ayyha" )sp?) was less than pleasant. We had signed up for the Dead Sea Tour only, but it became evident that people going to Masada were also on our bus. Our Tour guide offered to include us on the trip to Masada, and we also wanted a massage; this proved to be impossible to discuss with her. Any questions from us regarding price, or how long things would take were met with responses like: "look - do you want to go or not...you must decide now..there is no time to discuss". Some customers left the bus by accident when we arrived at the Dead Sea, and rather than explaining politely (they spoke very little English) our Tour guide referred to them as "Taiwan" and hollered at them: Taiwan - you -get back on the bus!" over and over again until they figured out what she wanted. She never explained things very well and seemed like she would have rather been anywhere else than there. The stop at the factory would have been fine if we hadn;t been attacked by sales people who kept trying to order us into a sales room for a sales pitch. The experience did NOT encourage us to buy from them. Our bus was a "Sasha" tour bus, and our trip was Friday the 2nd of November, I believe. We really feel that the web site could be better at explaining what our options were and how much it would cost. Trying to extract this information from the Tour Guide was not possible...we would have been better customers...no one likes to feel like they are being railroaded.

Had a great day at the Dead Sea. The resort we were taken to had good, if fairly basic facilities and there were plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The cafe was also good. Only four of us were dropped off at the Dead Sea - the rest of the coach party then went on to Massada. We were originally told the coach would return and leave at 4.10pm but, as they were delayed, we did not actually all leave until 4.30pm. This meant that we had a very long day at the Dead Sea - well over 5 hours. This did not bother us because we found it very relaxing but others may have felt bored spending this amount of time in the resort as once you are there you are stuck there with nothing else to do.
Liesl K, May 2011
First time that we've been to the Dead Sea, it was lovely. The tour guide suggested that we visit Masada on the same day and it's good that we took his suggestion as it was a magical experience as well. Beautiful view from Masada

I had a great trip. The guide was very good. He was informative and amusing and he kept everyone on time which made the experience all the better.
Otniel_H, Jul 2019
Muy satisfecho con el servicio contratado, fueron puntuales para salir, la guía explicó de una manera profunda desde que salíamos de Tel Aviv, el transporte con aire acondicionado y carga para celular.

Schöner Ausflug mit viel Geschichte,wer nicht 8 Stunden am Toten Meer verbringen möchte dann auf jeden Fall Masada mitbuchen.Persönlich fand ich dann nur 11/2 Stunden am Toten Meer etwas kurz.,unbedingt Badeschlappen und Handtuch mitnehmen.Das Essen war nicht schlecht aber überwiegen kalt gewesen.
viaje, Mar 2016
Este tour no lo tome porque un día me pareció mucho.
De hecho dentro del tour de Masada estaba incluido, por eso solicite reembolso de este tour. Estoy a la espera de confirmación del desembolso
veronique r, Oct 2015
C'était un agréable moment. Flotter sur la mer morte a été une expérience et une sensation magique. Excursion à recommander pour un moment de détente à deux.
Philippe D, Jun 2015
merveilleuse journée !! tout est parfait, seul bémol de mélanger les quelques Français avec les américains sans aucune tenue
