A great place to start desert tours in Israel,
is the holy city of Jerusalem.
The Lowest Place on Earth
From Jerusalem, travel through the wasteland of the Judean Desert and catch a glimpse of the oldest city in the world, Jericho, before reaching the Dead Sea. Here the water is almost 35% salt and is the lowest place on earth. Indulge in a mud bath or partake in a therapeutic swim. Even non-swimmers discover they can float.
A Herodian Palace
Masada is a natural, rugged terrain where King Herod the Great built his lavish palace on the northern face. When Judea became part of the Roman Empire, many survivors of the Jewish revolt retreated there rather than face death. Apart from a visitor center, which is undetectable from the summit, this dramatic site has remained intact for more than thirteen centuries until it was discovered in 1828. To Jews, Masada is symbolic of their ongoing fight between domination and freedom.
Enjoy Natural Beauty
The Negev is an unpopulated desert area situated in southern Israel. Covering over half of Israel’s land area, the Negev is virtually uninhabited except for the nomadic Bedouin. The Negev Museum of Art is located in the area’s main city, Be’er Sheva.
An Exciting Adventure
For different desert tours in Israel, spend a night in a Bedouin tent, eat traditional, Bedouin meals and take a camel ride or why not try sandboarding or abseiling down a cliff at the Ramon Center? For astronomers, the clear, night skies offer the adventurer a rare chance for stargazing.
