Business trip to Tel Aviv with a stop at the Dead Sea, July 19-26

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Israel this weekend for work, and I’m going to take the opportunity to explore a bit since it’s my first time there. I’ll be working until Wednesday evening, then I’ve planned to spend Friday and Saturday in Ein Gedi near the Dead Sea—hiking up Masada for sunrise on Saturday, probably checking out the Dodim Caves on Friday, and of course, a float in the salty water. I’m also thinking of visiting Haifa on Thursday, but I’m not completely decided yet. If anyone’s around during my trip and is into hiking, maybe climbing, or rappelling, let me know! Bruno

You're in for a treat. Hike up Masada on foot early in the morning. There's water available at the top. It's stunning—from there, I took a bus to the Dead Sea. An amazing experience. Haifa is also worth the detour for its beautiful gardens. Happy exploring!
