The ship-to-shore tour is offered whenever a cruise ship docks in Ashdod. The Masada and Dead Sea tour starts when you disembark from your cruise ship and meet your guide who will be waiting for you. Enjoy the drive south through the desert landscape in a well-maintained vehicle with A/C. The first stop is at Masada where you’ll take a cable car to the plateau summit and tour Herod’s hilltop fortress.
