Cannot possibly say enough about this experience. Picked up at hotel and brought to meet another bus at a Cafe with an incredible view of Jerusalem - bonus! Joined our charistmatic Brddoin guide Ali, one other person in the 4x4 with us. I don't think there is anything Ali does not know - our tour was filled with history, getting to see and head about desert plants and their uses, desert animals, desert survival, Bedoin customs. We learned so much while traversing rocky paths up and down inclines sometimes steeper than any I have experiences in anything other than a roller coaster. After a nice long sojourn we met up with another bus that took us to Qumran center for lunch and then down to the Dead Sea. Guide for this portion of the trip was Dan Porges, another fine and knowledgeable guide who was good at keeping everyone together and moving. Tour included some additional small stops (in listing) that we also found valuable. The buses that took us to and from Jerusalem had good a/c and working usb ports. I could not have asked for any more from this day. I would absolutely use this tour company again - will be seeking them out for additional tours in the future, and also recommending them to anyone who asks. Seriously, what a great day!

We did a tour of Masada and the Dead Sea from Jerusalem and had an incredible day! Our tour guide Yoav was brilliant. He was very informative, funny and answered everyone’s questions. The day was very well organised and everything ran smoothly. This is a great way to explore this beautiful part of Israel. I would highly recommend Bein Harim Tours.

We had a great time with Dan Porges as our tour guide and Ali driving us around the Dead Sea! Ali made a great narrator while making sure we all felt safe traversing the desert. The highlight of the trip was a lovely picnic with Ali out the back of the 4WD, overlooking the stunning gorge and monastery. It was a shame that we missed the Qumran caves due to last-minute rearrangements, but overall would highly recommend this tour!

My daughter and I had the best experience with Ali driving through to Dragot Cliffs and Wadi Murbaat. I have travelled in Israel many times and I have used bein harim/egged tours several times in the past; this was by far the best experience. I strongly recommend it to anyone travelling solo or with children. (It would be awesome if the tour operator offered the option to finish the day with Ein Gedi instead of Kalia Beach)
