Revitalize your body and rejuvenate your soul with the natural wonders of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, a body of intense blue water, is the lowest point on the Earth’s surface. It is the richest source of natural salts & minerals, conserving amazing treasures that have been accumulated over thousands of years. As the name implies, the Dead Sea is devoid of any living creatures due to its high salt levels. It contains more than 35 different types of minerals, all of which are well known for nourishing the body, reviving and softening the skin, and relieving pain. The ability to luxuriate in the rich, stimulating mud and float effortlessly on the water while soaking up the healthy minerals makes it a unique and matchless experience. The area also has a historical, religious, and spiritual background. It is believed to be the site of 5 biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebouin, and Zoar. Experience one of the most stunning natural and spiritual landscapes in the world.
