Kick off the day with an early morning hike up the Masada Snake Path which winds its way up approximately 400 meters from the lowest point on earth (The Dead Sea) to the Peak. This UNESCO site is super important to the Jewish people, a symbol of their exile from the Holy Land and of bravery and self-sacrifice. The story goes that here a Jewish sect called the zealots held out against the Roman army in AD66. Rather than surrender, they either fought to the death or committed suicide, every last man, woman and child. Catch the Cable Car back down then drive to the Dead Sea for a float in the salty waters. Apparently, Cleopatra used products from the area as part of her beauty regime, which also allegedly included animal milk and almond extract! After soaking in the salty waters, transfer back to your hostel in Jerusalem for a free evening.","sort":8,"tour_id":762,"ref_parts_id":"9","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hostel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[{"description":"Dead Sea - Visit and float"},{"description":"Masada - Entrance & Cable Car one-way"},{"description":"Masada - Snake Path Hike"}],"optionalActivityList":[]}}],"destinations":[{"name":"Israel","id":103},{"name":"Jordan","id":112}],"destinations_arr":[{"city":"","country":"Israel"},{"city":"","country":"Jordan"}],"departures_arr":[{"month":"June 2022","items":[{"start":"2022-06-23","end":"2022-07-03","sortdate":20220623,"price":3030,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2879,"month":"June 2022"}]},{"month":"August 2022","items":[{"start":"2022-08-04","end":"2022-08-14","sortdate":20220804,"price":3030,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2879,"month":"August 2022"}]},{"month":"September 2022","items":[{"start":"2022-09-08","end":"2022-09-18","sortdate":20220908,"price":3030,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2879,"month":"September 2022"},{"start":"2022-09-22","end":"2022-10-02","sortdate":20220922,"price":3150,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2993,"month":"September 2022"}]},{"month":"October 2022","items":[{"start":"2022-10-13","end":"2022-10-23","sortdate":20221013,"price":3150,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2993,"month":"October 2022"},{"start":"2022-10-27","end":"2022-11-06","sortdate":20221027,"price":3150,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2993,"month":"October 2022"}]},{"month":"November 2022","items":[{"start":"2022-11-10","end":"2022-11-20","sortdate":20221110,"price":3150,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2993,"month":"November 2022"},{"start":"2022-11-24","end":"2022-12-04","sortdate":20221124,"price":3150,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2993,"month":"November 2022"}]},{"month":"February 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-02-23","end":"2023-03-05","sortdate":20230223,"price":3300,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3135,"month":"February 2023"}]},{"month":"April 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-04-13","end":"2023-04-23","sortdate":20230413,"price":3300,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3135,"month":"April 2023"}]},{"month":"May 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-05-18","end":"2023-05-28","sortdate":20230518,"price":3300,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3135,"month":"May 2023"}]},{"month":"June 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-06-22","end":"2023-07-02","sortdate":20230622,"price":3300,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3135,"month":"June 2023"}]},{"month":"July 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-07-13","end":"2023-07-23","sortdate":20230713,"price":3030,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":2879,"month":"July 2023"}]},{"month":"August 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-08-03","end":"2023-08-13","sortdate":20230803,"price":3300,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3135,"month":"August 2023"}]},{"month":"September 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-09-21","end":"2023-10-01","sortdate":20230921,"price":3435,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3264,"month":"September 2023"}]},{"month":"October 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-10-12","end":"2023-10-22","sortdate":20231012,"price":3435,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3264,"month":"October 2023"},{"start":"2023-10-26","end":"2023-11-05","sortdate":20231026,"price":3435,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3264,"month":"October 2023"}]},{"month":"November 2023","items":[{"start":"2023-11-09","end":"2023-11-19","sortdate":20231109,"price":3435,"currency_code":"AUD","member_discount_price":3264,"month":"November 2023"}]}],"tour_type":2,"type_id":2,"style_rating":"Basix","ref_url":"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/EEYIC"}} catch (error) {}
