How would you like to travel to The
Dead Sea and smother
yourself all over with the medicinal Dead Sea Mud? It's supposed
to do wonders for the skin. Ask the girls on the left for their
opinion.
A
mere 40 minute drive from Jerusalem, and you reach the lowest
place on earth- 400 meters below sea level. Even in the middle
of winter, Jerusalem tourists can jump in the car, and reach a
completely different climate. Highly recommended for any winter
tourist to Jerusalem is to experience the breathtaking beauty of
The Dead Sea area, with its wonderful nature reserve hikes, the
flowing streams and waterfalls, and of course the experience of
The Dead Sea itself. |
| There are endless trails in The Dead Sea area, yet most people
choose the Nahal David trail. It begins by the Dead Sea, and moves
into the mountains, winding up into the hills passing several
beautiful water falls and pools. Swimming is permitted in all
these pools. The more adventurous can bring sandals along and
follow the trail in the water. The scenery is wonderful, and the
experience unforgettable. The Nahal Arugot trail is for the fitter
tourists, and some trails can take up to 6 hours. Take plenty of
water, and always wear a hat. There is a small fee to enter (
about 4 dollars), but it is worth every cent. |

Floating
in The Dead Sea |
 |

Last but not least, there is floating in The Dead Sea
itself. Take a paper, and put your feet up! A truly surreal
experience that is unique to the salty Dead Sea. Get ready
for pain if you have any minor cuts! |
