On my trip to Masada and the Dead Sea, I also visited the Ein Gedi National Park. It is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the Judean Desert. There are long waterfalls and gorgeous views of the Dead Sea. There is a lot of hiking available and there are a lot of deer everywhere. I only spent 1.5 hours there, but you could easily spend an entire day there exploring.
