The Dead Sea

Day Trips

 

Why not take a day trip to the Holy City of Jerusalem?

Less than an hour's drive from The Northern tip of The Dead Sea lies Jerusalem. Jerusalem, resting in the Judean Hills, provides the visitor with both a breathtaking and spiritual experience never to be forgotten. Steeped in history for the world's three main religions, visitors to the city attest to its uniqueness, and an ambience that sets it aside from every other city on earth. The walls of the old city glow with 2500 years of history, for Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. In the alleys of The Old City, you will feel as if you have gone back to an ancient time. Yet not five minutes away, you will enjoy an enchanting neighborhood built in the late 19th century - Yemin Moshe - a picturesque neighborhood of homes, artists' studios and art galleries. Named after Sir Moses Montefiore, it was built as the first neighborhood outside the  walls of Jerusalem's Old City.

Two and a half hours South of The Dead Sea lies the Red Sea Port of Eilat, the city of eternal sunshine. There you can bathe on the beach, swim with dolphins or snorkel in the coral reef among stunningly beautiful fish. Eilat is a paradise for sea-sports fans who enjoy diving, water skiing, swimming and boating. It also has all the amenities of a modern resort - luxury hotels, fine restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs, an international airport.

Alternatively, you can turn North, and drive up The Jordan Valley to the City of Tiberias on the shores of The Sea Of Galilee. Today Tiberias and the surrounding shores of the Sea of Galilee is a year-round vacation spot. The Sea of Galilee offers every conceivable water sport. Its 32 mile shoreline abounds with natural trails, hills to climb and caves to explore.
Tiberias is famous for its hot springs and health resorts.
