Dead Sea:

On your way to the Dead Sea a visit to Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were found and Masada, where Romans besieged Masada and succeeded in reaching the steep fortress after constructing a huge eastern ramp in the western side and the 960 Jewish zealots living at the top of Masada chose to rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of the Romans alive, is a must. After the intensity of these two visits, a float in the Dead Sea is very inviting.   Floating in the Dead Sea cannot be compared to any other water experience!

The Dead Sea area has become a major center for health research and treatment for several reasons. The mineral content of the water, the very low content of pollens and other allergens in the atmosphere, the reduced ultraviolet component of solar radiation, and the higher atmospheric pressure at this great depth each have specific health effects – this you will only find in Israel!
