Early in the morning, you'll set off toward the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth’s surface at 429 meters below sea level. This extraordinary body of water, with its salt content ten times higher than that of regular seawater, allows you to float effortlessly, offering a truly unique experience. Although it’s referred to as a "sea," it is, in fact, a vast salt lake. Over the past 50 years, the Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area, and it continues to shrink. While it is toxic to larger organisms like fish, microscopic life such as algae and plankton thrives in its waters.

The mineral-rich water and mud of the Dead Sea are renowned for their therapeutic properties, especially for skin ailments and rheumatism. Enjoy some time relaxing by the water, floating in the buoyant salty water, and indulging in the healing mud baths known for their skin benefits.
