Make the Most of Your Tamar Stay

Cultural heritage and natural wonders

The Tamar Regional Council sits at the lowest point on Earth, where the Dead Sea's mineral-rich waters meet dramatic desert cliffs and ancient history. Masada's UNESCO-listed fortress rises from an isolated plateau, its Herodian palaces and Roman siege story accessible via cable car or sunrise hikes. Ein Gedi Nature Reserve creates an unexpected oasis with waterfalls cascading through desert canyons, while Mount Sodom's salt formations offer geological intrigue. The region hosts the annual Tamar Festival with concerts at Masada's base and sunrise performances on the mountaintop.

Wellness and resort experiences

Ein Bokek's hotel strip provides the region's primary accommodations, where luxury properties offer private Dead Sea beaches, therapeutic mud treatments, and spa facilities utilizing the area's unique minerals. The Ranch House steakhouse and Taj Mahal restaurant provide upscale and Bedouin-style dining respectively. Business travelers find extensive conference facilities designed for international summits. The Dead Sea's hypersaline water allows effortless floating, and the mineral content has drawn visitors seeking therapeutic benefits since Herod's time.

Getting around the region

Route 90 connects the area's attractions, with Egged bus line 486 running between Jerusalem and the hotel zone via Ein Gedi and Masada. Rental cars offer flexibility, particularly during Shabbat when public transit ceases. Ben Gurion Airport sits 2-3 hours away.
