Day 9
Ascend by cable-car to explore Massada, scene of the epic stand by Jewish rebels at the end of the Great Revolt against Rome nearly 2,000 years ago. The new museum at the Visitor Center reveals the secrets of the daily life of the rebels, the story of the excavations, and how the site became one of Israel's most important symbols.
Stop at one of the Dead Sea spas or beaches for a dip in the saltiest sea in the world. The Dead Sea is recognized as having therapeutic qualities, and bathing here is something that should not be missed.
Enjoy the Ein Gedi Botanical Gardens, located on sloping paths on the grounds of Kibbutz Ein Gedi, where hundreds of trees and plants from exotic places around the world flourish in their oasis surroundings.
Overnight in Jerusalem.
