Description

Begin with a transfer from Jerusalem through a Biblical wilderness, passing the Inn of the Good Samaritan before descending below sea level to the Dead Sea area. Experience distant views of Jericho, known as one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and historically significant for its conquest by Joshua.

Visit the Qumran Caves, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. These scrolls, preserved for over 2,000 years due to the region's low humidity, are now housed in Jerusalem's Shrine of the Book.

Transfer to a 4WD jeep for an off-road adventure across the desert terrain. Navigate steep inclines, ravines, sand, and rock as you reach the Cliffs of Dragot overlooking the Dragot River. Explore the Murbaat Caves, notable for their unique square entrances.

Conclude the tour with time to relax and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Use the natural black mud as a therapeutic face mask to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.
