The ambitious ones will do an hour hike up the Snake Path to explore the ancient ruins of King Herod’s fortress. This hike is one of the “must do’s” in Israel and winds up the mountain with a view of the Dead Sea along the route. From Masada you can see over the Dead Sea into Jordan. The hike takes about an hour. There is also a great cable car that can take you direct to the top. After Masada, we will head to a small hotel on the shores of the Dead Sea where you can eat, relax and float on the lowest point on earth! The water has the highest concertation of salt in the world which allows you to float instead of swim. Nothing survives in the Dead Sea so no need to worry about sharks….but you should worry about getting any of the water in your eyes or cuts Bus back to Tel Aviv and dinner on your own.
