Masada Tours and Tickets

Visiting Masada is a must while in Israel, but getting to the remote desert location can be tricky, especially if you're on a time budget. This private Masada tour from Tel Aviv makes visiting easy. Not only does it include all transportation from the coast to the desert, but it also includes an off-road ride on Maale Yair trail and a traditional Israeli lunch.

Discover the magnificent ancient ruins of Masada and delights of the Dead Sea on this unforgettable private day trip from Tel Aviv. With your own private guide, cross the Judean Desert and ride a cable car up to Masada, a rocktop fortification built by King Herod in 350 BC. Explore the well-preserved ruins as you hear the tragic ancient tales of the site, and then drive to the Dead Sea. Experience a "˜swim' in the salt-heavy waters and enjoy a skin-replenishing mud bath here before your return to Tel Aviv.

Ideal for independent travelers, this 10-hour, self-guided tour allows you to visit three of Tel Aviv's top attractions in only one day. Relax as a driver transports you between the UNESCO-listed Masada, the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, and the Dead Sea, all of which are difficult to reach autonomously. At each attraction, you'll have free time to enjoy the majestic fortress of Massada, the desert oasis of Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, and the healing properties of the Dead Sea with a self-guiding app. Entrance fees to the Dead Sea beach are included.
