The Dead Sea
Dead Sea Salt
The Dead Sea is one of the world’s first health resorts dating back to biblical times. The water is said to have great healing benefits due to its hyper-saline content. Also,the air is highly oxygenated. Hotel spas in the area make full use of these elements. The Dead Sea is much more than just a relaxing spa holiday. The surrounding are is full of historical interest. Home to the Qumran Caves, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. A great base from which to discover the freshwater springs of the Judean desert and the Waterfalls of of Ein Gedi.
The landscape is a mix of arid desert and oases of green. The Dead Sea is the lowest place on the entire planet. Thus giving it unique climatic conditions. As a result, visitors can spend more time under the sun, than anywhere else in the world.
