After being picked up by your personal guide at Ashdod port, journey through the extraordinary wildness that is the Judean desert, passing by the Inn of the Good Samaritan and Jericho, the world’s oldest city and a veritable oasis in the desert. Stop at the sign proclaiming “You are now below sea level” and enjoy a photo opportunity. Journey onto the impressive fortress that is Masada, built by King Herod over 2,000 years ago, and the spot at which Jewish Zealots barricaded themselves in against advancing Roman troops, before committing suicide en masse rather than surrendering. Masada, today, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, perched on a hilltop, cannot fail to take your breath away.
