Where to Stay in Tel Aviv for the Masada Tour
Tel Aviv hotels and the Masada and Dead Sea tours: which tour picks up at listed hotels, which meet at a fixed point at 6:30 AM or earlier, and room searches by area. November 2026.
Where you stay in Tel Aviv decides how your Masada morning starts. Bein Harim Israel Tours’ From Tel Aviv: Masada & Dead Sea Full-Day Tour with Pickup, from US$125 per adult (checked November 2026), collects from listed Tel Aviv hotels and brings you back to them; the cheaper tours start from a fixed meeting point at 6:30 AM, or at 2:30 or 3:00 AM for sunrise, and you get there yourself.
The pickup hotels
The itinerary of Bein Harim Israel Tours’ day names nine Tel Aviv hotels for pickup and drop-off: the Sheraton Tel Aviv, Dan Panorama, Orchid Tel Aviv, Grand Beach Hotel, Alma Hotel, Dan Tel Aviv, Royal Beach Tel Aviv, Shalom Hotel & Relax and Brown Seaside. On 29 November 2026 and 13 January 2027 the booking step offered two pickup locations, so look at which ones it shows for your date before you pay.
The tour’s start is 7:15 AM. A reviewer on 20 October 2026 found that pickup times ran from about 7:00 to 8:30 AM depending on the hotel; one on 30 December 2025 complained that the tour did not pick up at their hotel.
