Knowing about Dead Sea



It is called the Dead Sea because its salinity prevents the existence of any life forms in the lake. That same salt, on the other hand, provides tremendous relief to the many ailing visitors who come here on a regular basis to benefit from its healing properties.

All these and more make the Dead Sea so fascinating, so different and so interesting. The Dead Sea can also be called “the lowest health spa in the world.” Sea salts are produced from the southern section for industry, and in the northern section promote tourism and good health. The composition of the salts and minerals in the water are what make it so unique and beneficial for the body

The sea bed also has deposits of black mud that is easy to spread on the body and provides the skin with nourishing minerals. As if that were not enough, the bromide in the air is also beneficial to the body’s systems, thus making the Dead Sea a provider for good health and healing for vacationers from all over the world.

It is a truly priceless national treasure. The western shore (inside Israel’s borders) is dotted with organized beaches and bathing areas that provide convenient access to the water. Beside two of the therapeutic beaches (Neve Zohar and Ein Bokek) large tourism centers have been established, providing the most pampering tourism services.

You will find dozens of hotels, hostels and guest houses, restaurants and shopping centers, as well as surprising tourism enterprises that offer a wide range of challenging activities (jeep and bicycle tours, camel tours and Bedouin hospitality, rappelling and more), alongside art and cultural activities (galleries and artists’ studios), and of course the unique agriculture, adapted to the local climate.

The Dead Sea is 1300 feet below sea level, deep in the Jordan Valley, the lowest point on earth. It is entirely devoid of life as it has 32% salinity, the highest salt content of all the seas’ waters.

Formed 3 million years ago when a fracture occurred, for thousand of years fresh water carrying its own natural salts drifted through the rocks, sand and soil, flowing south through the Jordan river valley into the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is a giant reservoir of minerals, natural salts and mud.

•Natural and have a high mineral content

The beneficial effects of the Dead Sea’s raw materials on the skin and their unique therapeutic and beautifying powers have been recognised since ancient times. The most beautiful women in the world, Cleopatra and Queen of Sheba are said to have frequented the Dead Sea to enjoy its amazing health and beauty properties.

The composition of the Dead Sea is unique. It contains very high levels of Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Bromides, Sulphates and other minerals.

Research has proven the efficiency of Dead Sea bath salts in alleviating various skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. They are also highly beneficial for relieving muscle tension, easing arthritic and rheumatic pain or for simply relaxing and enjoying a rejuvenating experience.

  1. Many hostels now have bars on their premises where guests can relax with a drink or two and get to know other travellers.
