Overview

Join a Masada and Dead Sea tour from Ashdod Port when your cruise ship docks in the Holy Land. This Masada and the Dead Sea tour is geared towards cruise passengers arriving at Ashdod cruise port. The ship-to-shore tour is offered whenever a cruise ship docks in Ashdod. The Masada and Dead Sea tour starts when you disembark from your cruise ship and meet your guide who will be waiting for you. Enjoy the drive south through the desert landscape in a well-maintained vehicle with A/C. The first stop is at Masada where you’ll take a cable car to the plateau summit and tour Herod’s hilltop fortress. Spend time in the Masada Museum and see an audiovisual presentation about Masada’s history. Then the tour takes you to Ein Bokek beach on the shore of the Dead Sea. Enjoy some lunch and dip into the salty Dead Sea. You’ll have free time on this unique Dead Sea beach before we head back to Ashdod so you can rejoin the cruise ship for your onward journey.

Our tour guide was great. Dead sea was exciting. Masada was fantastic! Amazing how history unfolded for these poor Jews back in the day.

Masada and the Dead Sea were breathtaking. Tour guide was very passionate about the historical aspects of both, which makes a world of difference when it comes to teaching history on the top of a mountain 40c (105f) degree heat. Was more physically demanding than what I expected, but would have been fine if I brought more sunscreen and water. Would recommend.
