The Judean Desert – Ein Gedi Oasis, Masada and the Dead Sea

The tour: We will start the day with a long drive all the way to the national park of the Ein Gedi Oasis. We will walk up the trail along the David River that flows all year round to a small water fall with a pool and sea the lush green nature in the middle of the desert. From there we will drive for another half hour to visit Masada. We will hear the history of these roman ruins and ask ourselves – what do we value more than life itself? Masada gives us a unique opportunity to raise some very hard questions. Then we will go to the Dead Sea for a floating dip in the mineral rich waters of the Dead Sea.
