Soar aboard a helicopter from Ashdod to the top of the Massada Fortress on this ultimate sightseeing adventure.

Your helicopter is ready for departure just outside the port area of Ashdod.  soon after boarding, you'll be airborne and flying over Jerusalem en route to Massada where a guide will meet you on arrival.  You'll then be accompanied on a 90-minute walking tour past all the essential sights of this mountain fortress.

Back aboard the helicopter, you'll descend to the base of the fortress where your driver/guide and minivan awaits.  From there you'll head for a five-star hotel on the shores of the Dead Sea where lunch will be served.  Afterwards, you may wish to take an "unsinkable" bath in the waters of the Dead Sea.  Towels and changing facilities will be provided at the hotel.

During the early afternoon, you'll visit Qumeran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found.  From there you'll reboard your helicopter and be whisked back to the port, at the conclusion of a day that will live long in your memory.

Approximately 8 hours (includes around 2-1/2 hours on board helicopter).
