Private Jerusalem & Dead Sea: Holy City to Earth's Lowest Point

Explore Jerusalem's Old City with a private expert guide, then descend to the Dead Sea to float in mineral-rich waters at 430 metres below sea level. A day that spans spiritual heights and natural wonder.

What to expect

Your day begins in Jerusalem's ancient Old City, where Slava brings the layers of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic heritage to life with scholarly depth and genuine passion. The Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the bustling Arab souk are all on the itinerary. After lunch, you drive down through the dramatic Judean Desert to the Dead Sea — the descent itself is spectacular. At the shore, you experience the world-famous float and the sensation of being suspended in some of the saltiest water on Earth. The drive back through golden desert light is a perfect finale.
