The Experience

The drive from Tel Aviv takes you through the Judean Hills toward the lowest point on Earth. You'll stop at the Sea level landmark to mark the descent, then pass Metzoke Dragot before arriving at a developed shore facility on the Dead Sea itself. The landscape opens up around you—rolling hills to the east toward Jerusalem, mountains rising to the west—and the water sits still and heavy in the basin below.

Once at the shore, you cover yourself in the therapeutic natural mud that collects on the Dead Sea bed. The mud clings thick and cool, and you leave it to dry in the sun before rinsing in the water. Then you float. The salt content is so high that your body rises without effort; you can lie back and drift without swimming. A professional guide in English, Spanish, French or German stays with the group throughout, answering questions about the mineral composition and the geography. The whole experience unfolds at the pace you set—some people spend an hour in the water, others less.

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Tel Aviv are included, as are entrance fees and transport in an air-conditioned vehicle. Bring a bathing suit, hat, towel and sun protection; the sun reflects off the water and the salt. Public transportation options exist nearby if you prefer to meet the group at the shore instead.

Is this one for you?The tour runs 10 hours with a full drive each way, so it demands a full day from your schedule—book it when you have the time to move slowly through the landscape and spend unhurried hours floating and applying mud, rather than rushing between other sites.
