Overview
The Dead Sea is a hypersaline lake bordered by Jordan and Israel/West Bank. It lies over 400 meters (1,300 feet) below sea level, the lowest land elevation on Earth. Its high salt and mineral content allows for effortless floating and offers therapeutic properties.
This unique natural wonder is a popular shore excursion destination for cruises. Ships typically dock in Israeli ports like Ashdod or Haifa. From there, full-day inland tours are offered.
Experience effortless floating in the Dead Sea's extremely salty water. Its high density makes sinking impossible, providing a unique sensation.
Tip: Avoid getting water in your eyes or mouth, as it is very irritating due to the salt.
Cover yourself with the therapeutic black mud found on the Dead Sea shores. This mud is rich in minerals and is believed to have skin-rejuvenating properties.
Tip: Designated areas often provide showers to rinse off the mud afterward.
Combine your visit with Masada, an ancient fortress atop a plateau overlooking the Dead Sea. It's famous for its historical significance and incredible views.
Tip: Take the cable car to the top to explore Herod's palace and the remains of the Jewish revolt.
Utilize the facilities at a Dead Sea resort or designated public beach. These typically offer changing rooms, showers, and comfortable access to the water.
Tip: Bring your own towel and swimwear. Some resorts may offer rentals.
If your tour allows, visit Qumran National Park. This archaeological site is where the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, offering profound historical insights.
Tip: This site is usually part of a more comprehensive historical tour of the Judean Desert.
Browse for a variety of Dead Sea cosmetic and health products. The unique minerals are used in creams, soaps, and bath salts.
Tip: Shops at resorts and visitor centers offer authentic Dead Sea merchandise.
