Breakfast. Depart and travel through the Judean desert to Masada, the fortress of King Herod and the last stronghold of the Jewish resistance against the Romans, with its magnificent views and fascinating excavations. Arrival at the Dead Sea. The waters of this sea, due to their high degree of salinity, the mud rich in minerals, and the climatic effect, make the area an incomparable natural spa. Mud or mud baths are internationally recognized as the best in the world due to their salinity and high proportions of iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium chlorides, which is why these types of baths have exceptional therapeutic qualities. Return to Jerusalem.
