Dead Sea

As part of a trip we did in Jordan we stopped in a hotel (forgot which) on the way to Wadi Rum. This was a great opportunity to test this urban legend, of can you read the newspaper (or not) floating on the Dead Sea. The outcome is a bit inconclusive, in fact YES you float more on the Dead Sea's than other seas BUT not really enough to float so much as to be lying on your back. The interesting part is however that is does taste MUCH stronger (in terms of salt) than any other seas. Interesting experience !

Some nice reviews, but be careful. For those that “slaver themselves in the mud from the banks” I once saw a dog piss and take a shit on the banks of a lake, followed by a group of tourists bathing themselves in mud from the same spot ten minutes later.

I had the privilege of visiting the Dead Sea during my recent trip to Jordan, and I must say, it was an awe-inspiring experience like no other! The Dead Sea is truly a mesmerizing natural wonder that left me in complete awe of its unique beauty and healing properties. The first thing that struck me was the otherworldly landscape surrounding the sea. The vast expanse of shimmering water contrasted against the arid desert landscape created a sight that I won't soon forget. The vibrant hues of the water and the salt-crusted shores made for a surreal and picturesque scene. Floating in the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea was an absolute delight! It's true what they say - you effortlessly float on the surface due to the extremely high salt concentration. It's an unusual sensation that made me feel like I was weightless, and the feeling was truly therapeutic. I couldn't resist taking a dip and experiencing this unique phenomenon for myself. Moreover, the mineral-rich mud found along the shores is known for its healing properties. I couldn't pass up the chance to slather myself with this renowned mud, and it left my skin feeling incredibly rejuvenated and smooth. The surrounding resorts and facilities cater to tourists, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all visitors. There are showers available to rinse off after floating, and the option to relax in the on-site spas, where I indulged in a refreshing mud wrap treatment. The stunning sunset over the Dead Sea is not to be missed. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky was painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple, casting a magical glow over the entire area. My visit to the Dead Sea was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and rejuvenating adventure. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for relaxation, the Dead Sea has something to offer everyone. Just remember to bring your camera to capture the beauty of this enchanting place! Tips: Stay hydrated as the climate can be quite dry. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, as the sun can be intense. Bring water shoes to protect your feet from the salt crystals along the shoreline. Try to catch the sunset - it's a sight you'll cherish forever. Overall, the Dead Sea is a must-visit destination that will leave you with unforgettable memories. I'm already dreaming of the day I can return to this enchanting natural wonder!

The Dead Sea in Israel is an otherworldly wonder that captivates with its unique natural beauty. The surreal landscape and remarkably high salt concentration create an unmatched buoyancy, offering a one-of-a-kind floating experience. The therapeutic mud and mineral-rich waters have drawn visitors for ages, promising rejuvenation and skin benefits. The surrounding desert vistas add to the mystique. While the sea's saltiness prevents traditional aquatic life, it gives birth to an enchanting environment all its own. A visit to the Dead Sea promises relaxation, wonder, and a connection to the Earth's most extraordinary creations.

Absolutely a nice place to visit , being on the lowest point of earth and plotting in water is unique experience In July / Aug the weather is hot around 41 degrees which have to be Mindful. Better to choose some other period for better experience It’s lovely places, no doubt

This was on my "high priority must do" list when I went to Israel. I had such a fun time. The place was beautiful, and the water felt great. The views were amazing! Do the mud bath for a unique experience!

Deserve the time and the trip. We went there by bus from Jerusalem, an easy ride that only you will need to have the travel card. From the bus stop to the beach you can walk 15 min or take a taxi for $7 …possible as expensive as the bus coming from Israel but when it’s so hot it’s not a bad idea. At the entrance you only need to pay the cheaper option, only the entrance tickets. Inside there is some duty free shop that I high recommend for beauty products, as well changing rooms, toilets, showers and a really great great restaurant for a cold beer and food. It’s incredible how easy do you float at the water, even you could try to be standing and the water push you up. Don’t miss the mood bath at the left of the pier and you will find a tap of water in the same pier and a shower not to far. The bus running each half an hour,

A check off the bucket list! Excellent visit of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth! Bars, souvenir shops and places to eat after floating in the Dead Sea available. Showers and changing rooms are clean! Bring swim suits and water shoes! If you forget, the shops have them for sale! Towels can also be rented for a small fee!
