Dead Sea Israel how to get there

Discover the enchanting beauty of the Dead Sea! Having traveled through the desolate Judean Desert, you can see calm turquoise-blue water appear behind a sand dune. This is a unique place and one of the most visited sights of Israel.

You don’t have to think about the route if you use the service of a private car with a driver from the 123 Trip Tel Aviv company.

If you wish, we can stop at amazing viewpoints so that you can take photos.

Healing Dead Sea

Water that comes from Jordan evaporates quickly. That’s why the sea is saturated with useful minerals and micronutrients. It has an extremely high salt content – 34%. There are no living organisms, but the water and air are exceptionally useful and help to solve many health problems.

Swimming brings unparalleled pleasure. It’s nice to just let yourself drift and be weightless in dense water. You can’t drown here! But it’s better not to taste the Dead Sea.

Weightlessness and relaxation

Ein Bokek — SPA & Resort. Its beach is reddish-yellow, like soft desert sand, and there are showers and all amenities. Here are our tips for comfortable rest on the Dead Sea:

• take two towels – use one after bathing in the sea, and the other – after a shower;
• don’t take flip-flops off – the sea floor is covered with sharp salt crystals;
• use sunscreen because it gets really warm here;
• do not stay too long in the water. 10-15 minutes tops;
• avoid getting the water in your eyes and mouth, and don’t dive;
• drink plenty of pure water;
• if you have open wounds, getting in salty water may be painful;
• be sure to take a shower after bathing.

Carefully walk into the water from the beach, and then enjoy unique weightlessness, relax, forget about problems, and breathe in the exceptionally clean healing air.

There are several other beaches on the Dead Sea:

• Kalya. You can get umbrellas and sun loungers here. There are showers, locker rooms, camping, a lifeguard, and «the lowest bar in the world».
• Biankini and Neve Midbar. The places where it’s nice to encamp, eat, swim, and relax.
• Zohar Hot Springs. This complex is situated 8 km south of Ein Bokek and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Besides bathing resorts, there’s plenty to see here. You may enjoy walks in beautiful national parks: Ein Gedi and Wadi Ein Bokek. It would be perfect to combine a trip to the Dead Sea with a visit to Masada. That’s an ancient fortress on a high mountain plateau that you can reach either by foot or cable car. However, the best decision is to order tours that combine Masada, Ein Gedi, and Ein Bokek with the Dead Sea from 123 Trip Tel Aviv. We guarantee you truly memorable impressions!
