Roi was a great guide, informative, fun and friendly Masada was amazing to see and Roi’ s knowledge gave us a good insight into the area There did seem to be a lot of hanging around We got picked up at 7.50 am and taken to a cafe about 15 mins away where all the other tourists were brought to and the. allocated to their trips we waited over an hour for everyone to arrive and be sent off on to different coaches. We went to the Dead Sea first but due to the wind we were unable to enter and experience it. We then went for lunch to a high volume canteen where we waited another hour before setting off to Masada which was the highlight of the day Given the weather which greatly improved as the day went on it would have been better to have done the Dead Sea second in the hope that the wind had dropped

it was nice, plenty of time at the dead sea. Then we got to masada, he state we can meet up here later. I thought this will be nice they have plaques with all the information.Then he says lets go and we cover only half. He was very knowledgeable but only covered half. sorry i didn't get to see all of masada.

We went to the Dead Sea first and it was still cool out. I would have preferred Masada while it was cool. The Dead Sea was disappointing because the beach at this facility was slippery and uneven and not easily accessible to the water. In the water the ground was so uneven you were either scraping yourself on sharp salt mounds or your shoes were sucked off in squishy mud. The water itself was salt dea sea. Fun to float in and cover in the mud. But we only had 1 hr 45 minutes there including changing and walking a great distance to the water. There are paid lockers and a busy changing shower area about a 5 minute walk downhill/uphill from the beach. Masada was unique and interesting but I would have preferred a bit less time at Masada lots of standing in the hot sun listening to the tour guide retell the details of Masada
