Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is located at the intersection of Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, a long, narrow saltwater lake nestled between the Judean Desert and the surrounding mountains. The lake's salinity is far higher than that of ordinary seawater, making it difficult for fish and other aquatic life to survive. Only a small amount of algae and microorganisms remain in the lake, and no vegetation grows along the shore, which is how it earned the straightforward and vivid name Dead Sea. There are no tides here, and the lake surface remains calm year-round. Under the sunlight, it resembles a bronze mirror, reflecting the surrounding desolate mountains and deserts, presenting a bleak landscape rarely seen elsewhere. The surface of the Dead Sea is more than 400 m below sea level, and the lakeshore is the lowest point on Earth's exposed land, earning it the nickname "the navel of the world." The extremely high salt content provides buoyancy far exceeding that of ordinary seawater. As long as you relax your body, you can float on your back; even if you can't swim, you don't have to worry about sinking, and you can even lie on the water holding a newspaper to pass the time. The black mineral mud deposited at the bottom of the lake is also a local feature. Many tourists cover themselves in the black mud before floating in the water for a while, which is an iconic Dead Sea experience. The southwest lakeshore on the Israel side is home to many beaches and bathing areas, making it very convenient to experience floating. In the surrounding desert area, you can also participate in adventure activities such as jeep tours, camel riding, and rappelling.Dead Sea Region · 41.3km from Ein Bokek

Masada National Park
Masada National Park sits atop a rocky mountain at the junction of the Judean Desert and theDead Sea valley. It is one of Israel's most important historical sites and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001. Masada National Park is world-famous not only for its long history, treacherous terrain, and once magnificent palaces, but more importantly for the spirit of Masada. Masada National Park is well preserved and has been reconstructed to honor the site and its heroes. The most impressive structure here is Herod's Northern Palace, built on three rock terraces overlooking the canyon below. Near the palace is a large Roman-style bathhouse with colorful mosaic floors and wall frescoes.Dead Sea Region · 12.7km from Ein Bokek

Old City
Old City is a walled ancient city in the heart of Jerusalem. Covering less than 1 square kilometer, it is a place with a high concentration of holy sites for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Old City is traditionally divided into 4 different quarters, each with a distinct atmosphere: the Jewish Quarter has tidy streets and preserves the ruins of the Cardo from the Roman-Byzantine period; in the Christian Quarter, the Way of the Cross - Via Dolorosa, which extends from the Lion's Gate to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, connects 14 stations. The final stations are located within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is believed to be the site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial and welcomes pilgrims from all over the world year-round; in the bustling area, the market streets extending inward from the Damascus Gate are lined with stalls selling spices, sweets, olive wood carvings, and more; the Armenian Quarter is much quieter, where painted ceramic workshops are a long-standing traditional craft. The Temple Mount, located on a high platform in the southeast of the Old City, stands apart from the 4 quarters. The golden-domed Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are both located within this compound. The golden dome is particularly striking in the sunlight and is a highly recognizable landmark on the Old City's skyline; the Western Wall on the west side of the compound is a holy site for Jewish prayer, where many visitors tuck notes with their wishes into the cracks of the stones. The Old City is best explored on foot, with many cobblestone paths, steps, and slopes. When entering religious sites such as churches and mosques, please ensure your shoulders and knees are covered; early mornings and evenings have fewer crowds and softer light, making it easier to avoid the rush and capture beautiful photos.Jerusalem · 65.3km from Ein Bokek

Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the "Hall of Resurrection", is located in the Old City of East Jerusalem, Israel. This is the site of the tomb of Jesus, a Christian holy site, and one of the Christian cathedrals in Jerusalem. This church holds a special significance as the place where Jesus Christ was killed, buried and resurrected. Legend has it that before Jesus was killed, he carried a heavy cross along the "Road of Passion" and walked to the execution ground with difficulty step by step.Jerusalem · 65.5km from Ein Bokek

The proximity to the public transportation like buses is 10! I love how you can have free access to the showers and dressing rooms for an entrance-fee-free public beach.

Masada is a holy place for Jews and one of the United Nations World Heritage Sites. It is located on a rocky mountaintop at the junction of the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea Valley, about 25 kilometers north of Ein Gedi. The cliff on the east side is about 450 meters high, and it goes straight down from the top of the mountain to the shore of the Dead Sea; the cliff on the west side is about 100 meters high. The top of the mountain is flat and diamond-shaped, about 600 meters long from north to south, about 300 meters wide from east to west, and the surrounding wall is about 1,400 meters long. The natural roads leading to Masada are extremely steep, and the most important one is the "Snake Path" on the east side.

A very interesting and lively place to get lost in. The old city is divided into different religious quarters so it's fascinating to see how the quarters differ and how everyone mingles.
