Travel to Eilat

Check out after breakfast, and follow the “Peace Road” – a fascinating drive along part of the border between the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan. Along the way enjoy views of the cultivated fields of Idan, Hatzeva and Ein Yahav, observation points that overlook the landscapes of the Arava streambed, the mountains of Edom and the reservoirs that irrigate the fields of the desert. We will continue to marvel at the immense, multi-colored rock formations with a tour of Timna Park, viewing the ancient copper mines and the spectacular King Solomon’s Pillars. Drive to Eilat, Israel’s southernmost city and port, where our day will end with a Desert Jeep Safari through the Eilat Mountains. Overnigh in Eilat

Massada and Dead Sea

We will drive south, through the Judean hills to the shore of the Dead Sea, starting at Ein Gedi Nature Reserve for an easy hike through this natural desert oasis. Continue along the shoreline of the lowest place on earth to the infamous Masada where we will ascend by cable car to see where Jewish defenders made their last stand against the Romans in AD 73. Next, continue to our hotel by the Dead Sea shore for free time at the hotel spa and floating on the salty waters. Overnight at the Dead Sea
