Overview

Explore the rugged Judean Desert by 4x4 and swim in the Dead Sea on this action-packed full-day trip from Jerusalem! Travel into the desert by air-conditioned coach and pause at the Qumran Caves, where the precious Dead Sea Scrolls were first discovered. Then, board a 4x4 for a thrilling drive along ravines, wadis and desert slopes to see the spectacular Dragot Cliffs and ancient Murbaat Caves, another archaeological treasure-trove. Finally, head to the Dead Sea to relax, float in the salt-rich waters, and enjoy a therapeutic mud bath.
