Dead Sea: Relax and Enjoy
The Dead Sea contains 10 times more saline than seawater, making humans bizarrely float like corks. Floating across the salty waters is an unusual experience, but relaxing and possibly healing due to its therapeutic sea minerals. The mineral rich mud along the beach is said to be highly cleansing to reduce symptoms of respiratory, skin and even nervous system ailments. Take the day to enjoy it, floating and possibly indulging in a local spa treatment that utilizes these natural healing ingredients. By visiting the Ahava factory which produces Dead Sea skin products, you’ll get a discount to the Dead Sea Mineral Beach.
