The Lowest Point on Earth
Dead Sea Tours
Dead Sea Tours
The desert has always been a place of reflection and renewal. It’s no surprise that the Abrahamic religions were born here, in this tranquil and timeless landscape. For many visitors to Israel, Dead Sea Tours and journeys into the Judean Desert are the highlight of their trip — combining natural wonders, sacred history, and unforgettable experiences. Where else in the world can you, in just one day: explore the Oldest City ever discovered, stand at the traditional site of Jesus’ Baptism, visit the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, hike through an ancient desert oasis, marvel at the ruins of King Herod’s Desert Fortress, and then float effortlessly in the salty waters of the Lowest Place on Earth? Only in the Dead Sea Region and the Judean Desert can all of these extraordinary experiences come together — and with a Private Israel Tour Guide, you’ll discover them in a truly authentic and personal way.
