2026 Dead Sea Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Who would understand!! As I walked through the 1.5 km long, narrow, and imposing Siq canyon, the midday sun cast slender beams through the 80-meter-high rock crevices. Suddenly, the Treasury emerged from the crimson cliffs—the moment I realized that “Jordan” is never just about floating in the Dead Sea. It is an encounter with Petra and time, a millennia-old dialogue between nature and human craftsmanship, a story of “awe and eternity” told every time you look up. Here lies the most mysterious lost city among the new seven wonders of the world, where the air is filled with the scent of sandstone and camel bells. The stories hidden in the rose-colored cliffs are more vivid than any filter and more touching than any guidebook. The Treasury: the “rose-colored treasure” breaking through the cliff Known as “Petra’s most stunning visual landmark,” the 40-meter-high Treasury (Al-Khazneh) is as beautiful as a “frozen miracle.” It wasn’t built by stacking stones but carved bit by bit by the Nabataeans from the cliff’s top down, using pickaxes and long-handled axes on a single sandstone block. When you meet it at the end of the canyon, watching the angel statues flicker in the light and shadow, and the sandstone shift in color from deep red to golden brown under the sun, it feels as if the entire building is breathing. You’ll feel like you’ve “walked into the Holy Grail’s hiding place in Indiana Jones,” your heartbeat syncing with the millennia-old rock. Every photo captures the perfect blend of ruggedness and sacredness. The Siq canyon: the “time tunnel” to the lost city As “Petra’s ultimate entrance ritual,” the winding Siq canyon (Siq) is as beautiful as a “natural painting split by a giant axe.” The 80-meter-high cliffs on both sides look as if cleaved by a giant axe. At noon, sunlight streams through the crevices, illuminating the carved ceramic water channels on the cliffs—one of the Nabataeans’ proudest inventions. After walking through this intense natural passage, when the full view of the Treasury suddenly appears, the overwhelming sense of revelation is immediate. You’ll feel like you’re “standing at the crossroads of time and space,” breathing cautiously, afraid to disturb this millennia-old mystery. The Monastery: the “temple in the clouds” atop 800 steps As “Petra’s most hardcore deep experience,” the Monastery (Ad-Deir) is “grand and magnificent.” This building, even larger than the Treasury, requires climbing over 800 steep steps carved into the natural rock. At the summit, the wind sweeps sand across your face, and the Wadi Araba valley spreads below like a red sea. The cross carvings on the walls silently tell the story of Byzantine Christianity’s spread here. Sitting at the top, overlooking the view, you’ll feel like you’ve “understood the city’s history,” as time slows down, and it feels like the next moment you could embrace this desert rose and the tranquility that spans a thousand years. Petra by night: the “millennial sigh” lit by candlelight As “Petra’s most healing soul touch,” the night tour of Petra is as beautiful as “a dream crossing a thousand years.” At dusk, hundreds of oil lamps wind through the Siq canyon like a golden river, and the Treasury’s silhouette floats like a temple in the dim light. The Bedouin flute sounds from behind the cliffs, like a sigh traveling through the ages. Sitting on a carpet in the Treasury square, sipping mint tea and listening to guides tell stories of Nabataean merchants trading spices for silk, you’ll feel like you’ve “stepped into the fantasy of One Thousand and One Nights,” gaining a deeper understanding of this land: time here has never truly passed. Tour routes Classic route: hike through Siq canyon > check in at the Treasury > Roman theater > royal tombs (8:00 AM–12:00 PM, for panoramic views and light and shadow) Deep route: climb 800 steps to the Monastery > overlook the ancient city from the high altar > Petra by night candlelight show (2:00 PM–9:00 PM, for a mix of hardcore and romance) Equipment Canon R6 with wide-angle lens (for temple panoramas and canyon depth) + phone (for cliff details and candlelight night scenes) BGM Traditional Arabic oud music or ethereal natural white noise (to match Petra’s mystery and history) Tips Best time: strongly recommend entering before 7:00 AM to avoid the midday heat and enjoy the Treasury’s rose-colored light in the soft morning glow; spring and autumn (March–May, September–November) offer the most pleasant climate. Transportation: about 3 hours by car or private transfer from the capital Amman; mainly walking inside the ancient city, with horse or mule rentals available for those who need assistance. Recommended attire: wear comfortable sneakers (the ancient city’s hiking is very demanding); earth tones, khaki, or flowing red dresses are recommended to perfectly complement the rose-colored sandstone; bring a windbreaker as desert temperatures vary greatly between morning and night. Safety details: strong sun exposure inside the ancient city requires sufficient drinking water and sun protection; the Monastery’s steps are steep, so watch your footing and proceed according to your ability; respect local Bedouin culture and ask permission before photographing people. Avoid pitfalls: it’s recommended to buy a two-day ticket (55 Jordanian dinars) as one day is not enough to explore this vast stone city; avoid “free guides” who aggressively solicit on the street to prevent being asked for high tips; Petra by Night requires a separate ticket, so book in advance on the official website. Extended experiences: enjoy a cup of freshly brewed Bedouin coffee in front of the Treasury at dawn to experience the most authentic desert atmosphere; find a less crowded spot on the opposite cliff for a unique aerial view of the temple and canyon; on weekends, visit Wadi Musa town outside the ancient city to savor authentic Jordanian grilled lamb.

The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world and the lowest lake on Earth, located at the junction of Israel, Jordan, and Palestine. The surface of the Dead Sea is 415 meters below sea level, earning it the nickname "The Navel of the World." Due to the combined effects of geographical conditions and human activities, the lake's area has significantly shrunk. The Dead Sea stretches 80 kilometers from north to south, 4.8 to 17.7 kilometers wide from east to west, covering an area of 1,020 square kilometers, with an average depth of 300 meters and a maximum depth of 395 meters. The salt crystals of the Dead Sea come in various shapes: some are light and translucent like snowflakes, some are sharp and gem-like, others are smoothed and rounded into spheres by the water's movement, or form irregular crystals along the shore. Additionally, there are unique formations such as salt domes and salt chimneys.

✅I believe that many people are like me. I have only heard about the Dead Sea from textbooks before. This time I finally have the opportunity to experience the magic of the Dead Sea in person! 😨The Dead Sea has a high salinity. People who can't swim will float up if they go in. In the shallows, you can easily catch a lot of salt crystals. 👉🏻The Dead Sea is also the lowest point on land on Earth, with an altitude of about -430 meters. It is still dropping every year, so some people call it "the belly button of the earth"🌍 🌊 The feeling of floating in the Dead Sea: It is different from the swimming pools or seas I have been to before🙅 You can clearly feel the buoyancy and lie flat in the sea! It’s hard to control the center of gravity at first, but once you get used to it, you can float without any effort. It feels amazing! #Check-in swimming pool

I went to the Dead Sea floating water to do a scrub mask, immediately felt slippery ^ _ ^, but a fork wrong foot so that the Dead Sea stone rubbed left foot, in the Dead Sea flow my fresh blood, fortunately in the 30% salt Dead Sea wound will not have fungal infection, all bacteria are pickled to death, but my wound is really a bit painful, #Specialty Accommodation #My Christmas Play #Seaside Shooting Strategy

The Dead Sea, also known as the Salt Sea, gets its name from its 30% salt and mineral content, making it impossible for any living organism to survive. This also gives the Dead Sea incredible buoyancy, allowing non-swimmers to float easily on its surface. #bucketlist#tbt

Who else gets it!! In July, dive into the rose-colored desert in southern Jordan. Baked like a sweet potato under the sun during the day, wrapped in a blanket counting shooting stars at night. This contrast makes the trip so addictive🌌 Today I’m sharing all the essential tips for exploring this Moon Valley in summer, explained one by one— 🗺️ How to plan the itinerary most efficiently If starting from Amman, I recommend the route Amman → Dead Sea → Petra → Moon Valley → Aqaba, with no backtracking. Plan 2 days 1 night or 3 days 2 nights in Moon Valley. One day is just enough for a quick visit and photos. Two days lets you explore the deep stone bridges and canyons. Three days 2 nights is the most comfortable pace: enter the desert in the afternoon on day 1 to catch the sunset, spend day 2 exploring deeply, then watch the sunrise and leave on day 3. 💰 Cost breakdown Half-day jeep tour (4–5 hours): about 35–50 JD per vehicle, shared by 4–6 people Full-day jeep tour (7–8 hours): about 60–80 JD per vehicle Camel ride: 15–25 JD per hour, prices increase the deeper you go Camp accommodation with meals: basic 25–40 JD per person, starry bubble tent 70–120 JD per person These are reference prices. Book early in peak season. In July, many European and American travelers gather here, so last-minute options may only be the most basic. 🌄 Classic 2 days 1 night route breakdown [DAY 1] → Arrive at the visitor center at noon, jeep picks you up at the camp → Warm up at the Nabatean temple ruins, the stone pillars left by the Nabateans 2,000 years ago are still standing → Head straight to Lawrence’s Spring in the afternoon, about a 20-minute climb to overlook the entire valley entrance → Then visit Khazali Canyon to find rock paintings carved over ten thousand years ago in the rift → Arrive at the red sand dunes by evening, take off your shoes and run down from the top, then sit on the dunes to watch the sunset → After sunset, return to camp for pit-roasted meat, then lie on the sand to stargaze [DAY 2] → Get up at 5 AM and head deeper into the desert → Um Fruth stone bridge is the highlight, the double-arch shape is very photogenic. When the light is good, the rock walls turn deep red → Continue south to Burdah stone bridge, the highest natural arch in the reserve. It requires some climbing but is definitely worth it → Along the way, you’ll pass many small canyons and caves. The guide will take you inside to see the rock paintings → In the afternoon, you can choose to ride a camel on a slow-paced route, leisurely wandering between the dunes → If staying two nights, the second night features a campfire with Bedouin traditional music and singing, creating a great atmosphere 🧭 Bonus deep-dive activities ✧ Rock climbing — The reserve has several marked hiking trails ranging from easy to professional. The Rakhabat mountain trail suits those with moderate fitness, about 3 hours round trip ✧ Hot air balloon — Take off from the desert edge at dawn to overlook the entire valley. Prices are about 120–150 JD. July’s stable weather is perfect for flying ✧ Desert wild camping — For the hardcore, guides can take you to a light-pollution-free deep spot to camp. Bring your own sleeping bag. Being surrounded 360 degrees by stars is a completely different experience ✧ Rock painting archaeology — The reserve has over 20,000 rock painting sites. Guides can help identify which depict hunting scenes and which are ritual scenes, making it 100 times more interesting than reading books 🌡️ Summer survival tips The desert in July is no joke, surface temperatures easily exceed 50 degrees Celsius. But! If you manage your schedule well, you can enjoy it comfortably— The core logic is “early out, late return, rest in between”: ▷ Sunrise and sunset are the golden hours for activities, temperatures around the mid-20s Celsius, and the light is softest ▷ Stay in the shade from 10 AM to 3 PM, read, daydream, or nap ▷ Head out again after 4 PM, when the desert turns a rich rust red in the slanting sun ▷ Night temperatures drop to just above 20 degrees Celsius, with a cool breeze, a completely different world from daytime Hydration is a must-do task. Drink at least 200 ml every hour. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. 🎒 Pre-trip checklist ❶ Buy the Jordan Pass in advance on the official website. Use it to enter at Amman airport ❷ Download offline maps. 90% of the desert has no cell signal ❸ Exchange Jordanian dinar cash, at least 200 JD. There are no ATMs in the desert ❹ Confirm pickup time and place with the camp in advance. The visitor center is the only meeting point ❺ Bring a copy of your passport. You need to register your ID to enter the reserve ❻ Prepare sealed bags for your phone and camera. Fine sand gets everywhere and can damage equipment 👗 What to wear Light-colored, loose long sleeves and pants are standard during the day for sun and sand protection. Choose quick-dry, breathable fabrics. Cotton feels stuffy in the desert. Choose high-top sneakers or lightweight hiking shoes. Sand in low-top shoes is really frustrating. For photos, white, beige, and ginger colors match the red desert best. Flowing long skirts on the dunes create a cinematic feel. Bring a fleece jacket for the evening. Don’t be fooled by daytime temperatures. Desert nights are truly cold. The most magical thing about this desert is that, despite being the most barren environment, it feels incredibly rich. Standing deep in the canyon looking up at a sliver of sky, or lying on the sand at night watching shooting stars cross the Milky Way, the feeling of being completely wrapped by nature really calms you down🏜️

When people think of floating in Jordan, they think of the main Dead Sea resorts, but exploring the incredibly salty waters and rugged wadis in the Karak Governorate region is a much more adventurous and authentic experience! Stepping into the hyper-saline water is completely surreal—the salt concentration is so high that you instantly bob up to the surface like a cork. You physically cannot sink! The mineral-rich water and the unique mud along the banks leave your skin feeling unbelievably smooth. Floating effortlessly while looking up at the dramatic, sun-baked canyon walls of the region is a memory you won't forget anytime soon. Pro Tips: · The Golden Rule: Do not get the water in your eyes or mouth—it burns intensely! If you do accidentally splash yourself, ensure you have a bottle of fresh tap water nearby to rinse out your eyes immediately. · Mind Your Skin: Avoid shaving for at least 24 hours before entering the water, as the high salt content will sting even the tiniest microscopic scratch or cut! #KarakJordan #DeadSeaJordan #SaltyWaters #NaturalSpa #VisitJordan #FloatingInWater #JordanAdventures #WadiExploration #TripMoments

#2026New Year's Eve The most special experience of my trip to Israel was undoubtedly the floating experience in the Dead Sea. I was half-doubting, wondering, "Will I really float?" as I entered the water, but the moment I did, I burst into laughter. The Dead Sea has a much higher salinity than regular ocean water, so even if I just lay still, I floated naturally. It was a truly amazing experience to be able to float comfortably on the water without exerting any effort. Now that I've tried it myself, I understand why the scene of people taking pictures with a book is so famous. The water also felt unique. Unlike regular seawater, it had a slightly oily feel, and upon emerging from the water, my skin felt smoother. There was also an opportunity to apply Dead Sea mud to my entire body. After washing it off, my skin felt noticeably softer. The surrounding scenery was also impressive. The arid desert landscape and the calm lake-like surface create a mystical atmosphere. The symbolism of being the lowest point in the world added to the special feeling. ✔ A magical floating experience that leaves you floating even when you're still ✔ Experience the Dead Sea mud that leaves your skin smooth ✔ Symbolic of being the lowest point in the world ✔ Unique desert landscape ✔ An essential bucket-list experience for any Israel traveler

Today's main activity is the Fethiye Mediterranean Island Hopping Tour (lunch included) (this activity is not included from November 15th to March 15th). Before 9:00 AM, the driver picked us up from the hotel, then picked up Xiao Ma, then the young couple from Nanjing who were in the same car yesterday (only the young man; the wife had already been picked up early in the morning for paragliding), and finally picked up two female tourists. The drive took about 30 minutes, arriving at the famous Fethiye seaside attraction, the "Blue Lagoon." Because its surface is as calm as a mirror, almost undisturbed even during storms, it is also known as the "Dead Sea." Located 14 kilometers south of Fethiye, near Mount Barbada, it sits at the intersection of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The Dead Sea is also one of the world's top five paragliding destinations. Tourists can take off from Mount Barbada (approximately 2000 meters above sea level), circling in the air and overlooking the panoramic view of the Dead Sea, experiencing the beautiful natural landscape where the blue sky, azure sea, green mountains, and white sand blend seamlessly. We got off the bus and looked up to see many paragliders soaring in the sky, with people landing on the grassy beach every now and then. A young woman from Nanjing had just landed there, saying it was too cold in the air. At 10:30, we boarded a cruise ship and began our tour of attractions such as the Blue Grotto, Butterfly Island, Nicklaus Island, Camel Beach, and the Spring. The cruise ship would stop at small islands for tourists to stroll along the beach and take photos, or stop in the sea for everyone to swim and play in the water, experiencing the joy of being surrounded by schools of fish. Wherever we went, the seawater displayed multiple shades of light blue, dark blue, and light green, crystal clear, with underwater reefs clearly visible. At 1:00 PM, the cruise ship stopped at Butterfly Island, where everyone enjoyed a seafood meal prepared by the crew. We cruised again at 2:00 PM, and many tourists went swimming in the sea in the afternoon. The cruise ended and returned to the starting point at approximately 4:50 PM, with paragliders still flying in the sky. Afterwards, the driver took us back to our respective hotels.

Dead Sea: A must-visit destination at least once in a lifetime, located in Jordan. Its highlight is being the lowest point on Earth, with water so salty that you can float effortlessly without swimming. 🧂✨ Standing nearby, you can immediately sense the salinity of the water, with visible salt crusts along the edges. The surrounding atmosphere is peaceful, with a unique view of mountains contrasting against the water. Personally, I chose not to go into the water due to its intense salinity. Just sitting to enjoy the view, strolling around, and taking photos was more than enough. It offers a distinct mood. Another highlight here is the pink-hued sea water in certain basins, as shown in the picture 🌸🩷🎀. The color resembles a strawberry milkshake. If you visit the Dead Sea, apart from taking photos with the salt sea, you must capture the adorable pink sea water as well. For anyone visiting Jordan, I highly recommend stopping by here at least once. Even if you don’t go into the water, you’ll still feel that this place is truly unique. 🚘 Travel time from Amman city center is about 1.5 to 2 hours. 📌 It’s best to visit in the morning or evening, as it can get very hot in the afternoon.

When I was a child, the Dead Sea was a magical name in geography textbooks, a miraculous sea that could support the human body, as distant as a legend. Now, standing on the shore of the Dead Sea, with sunlight on my face and the fine salt grains underfoot scratching my skin—I have finally arrived at this once unreachable coordinate, marking a perfect end to my 2025 journey. Starting from Jerusalem, the altitude meter steadily drops from zero to negative values, as if heading deep into the Earth. Upon reaching the Dead Sea, my mood becomes calm and grounded. Changing into a swimsuit and stepping into the water, the cool sensation quietly spreads. Lying back slowly, the body truly floats lightly! Of course, it’s also easy to flip over into the sea... 💙 History and Warning The Dead Sea carries millennia of civilization codes, intertwining ancient Greek records, Roman trade, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and biblical legends. However, the water level is currently dropping at an average rate of 1 meter per year, so please protect the environment. 💙 Why the Dead Sea can float you ✅ Lowest point on Earth: lake surface at -430 meters elevation, deepest point 380 meters, known as "the wound of the Earth." ✅ Extremely high salinity: closed water cycle, annual evaporation of 1400-1600 mm, salt continuously accumulates, salinity is 10 times that of ordinary seawater (about 34%), density far exceeds what the human body can naturally float on easily. 📝 Practical Travel Tips 🕶️ Must-have gear: swimsuit, slippers, high SPF sunscreen, bath towel, mineral water, sunglasses, magazines, and other photo props 🛍️ Shopping recommendation: You can visit the Ahawa factory on the way to see the entire process of refining and packaging Dead Sea mud. It’s recommended to buy some masks and skincare products to take home, bringing the gifts of the Dead Sea with you. Prices are cheaper than at the airport.

The Dead Sea is not only the lowest sea in the world (-400 meters above sea level), but also a record told by layers of salt and receding waters each year. Every stripe is a beauty of nature, a warning sign that this miracle may not last forever. The Dead Sea Highway opens up to a barren, brown mountainside, edged by a still, mirror-like water. But if you stop and take a closer look, you'll see layers of salt layered in stripes resembling tree rings—a pattern both beautiful and sad at the same time. Some rocks are covered with salt crystals, forming natural sculptures. Some tourists touch the mud, lie on their backs, and laugh. Some float in the mineral-rich water, and others simply stand on cliffs, silently gazing at the water, as if capturing the image. But beneath this beauty lies a warning: the Dead Sea is constantly losing water. Its level is dropping by an average of more than a meter per year. Both from the Jordan River and from the mineral industry, the coast is receding, creating more cracks and sinkholes each year. The sight today may not be the same in ten or twenty years. What used to be beaches has become cliffs, and what used to be underwater has become dry land. Travelers' memories are crucial. Because each image is a record of the changes taking place before our very eyes. As we continue driving, we meet the King's Highway, an ancient route used since Mesopotamia, through the Romans, and the Crusades. We gradually climb from -400 meters above sea level to a mountain peak over 1,000 meters high before reaching Petra, the pink stone city that is our destination. But the image that lingers in our minds isn't just the destination, but the question the Dead Sea entrusts us with—while the beauty of the salt and the sun-drenched blue waters remain captivating, its future remains uncertain. #DeadSea #JordanTrip #NatureAndHistory #TravelMoment #SaveDeadSea

From the frame to the sea!

#aprilblooms The views of the Dead Sea are unlike anything else. 🌊✨ Nestled between Israel and Jordan, this unique saltwater lake is framed by desert landscapes and rugged mountains, creating a surreal and unforgettable sight. The landscape feels otherworldly, with the stark contrast between the deep blue waters and the cracked salt crusts that surround them. 🌵💙 Whether you’re standing on the shores or floating in the mineral-rich waters, the Dead Sea offers a sense of tranquility like no other. The mountain backdrop, especially at sunrise or sunset, bathes the area in warm golden hues, adding to the ethereal beauty of the place. 🌅 The salty air, the silence, and the incredible scenery make it a perfect spot for reflection, relaxation, and a little bit of magic. There’s no place quite like the Dead Sea, where nature’s wonders come together in the most serene way. #DeadSeaViews #NaturalWonders #SaltLake #DesertBeauty #MeditativeVibes

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The salt content of general seawater is 3.5%, while the salt content of the Dead Sea is as high as 25%. Just sit down in the water, relax and you will float naturally. But be careful not to dive into the water, as such high salt levels can be very painful if they come into contact with your eyes! In addition, Dead Sea mud is rich in minerals. Rich in minerals such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium salts, etc. Don’t forget to apply free Dead Sea mud on your face and body as a skin care After all, these Dead Sea mud skin care products are expensive! The magical thing is that after applying the Dead Sea mud, I felt so light and full of energy. Maybe this is the healing effect given by nature! Tips 1. Because of the high concentration of salt, you may become dehydrated if you soak in the Dead Sea for too long under the bright sun. Be extra careful! 2. You can bring your own newspapers, books or mugs as photo props, which will be very effective in taking photos😆

#FallHospitalityEvent Gelato ice cream purchased at a shop in front of En Boke Beach in the Dead Sea. I stopped in because it was open on Shabbat, a quiet Israeli holiday. The gelato was delicious, but perhaps because it was a tourist destination in an expensive country, the price felt even higher than it actually was.

I went to the Dead Sea in Jordan! ! When you go to the Dead Sea, you really float for the first time👍✨ If you keep floating in the Dead Sea for about 5 minutes, your body will hurt, so make sure there is a shower nearby🚿 Speaking of the Dead Sea, you can use a mud pack♡ After taking a shower, replenish your whole body with minerals and make your skin smooth☺️ Also, if you use books or magazines as props at the Dead Sea, I think you can take photos that look like the Dead Sea📸 I also bought a book in Jordan! ! The Dead Sea can be accessed from two places, from the Israeli side and the Jordanian side, but it is currently safer to enter Jordan than enter Israel, so I recommend accessing it from the Jordanian side✨ How to get there🚌 If you take a taxi from the airport to the Dead Sea You will need to take an airport taxi! Or you can often arrange this with your hotel. An airport taxi costs about 10,000 yen and takes about an hour. It's easier than the bus, and if you're traveling with multiple people, the price is almost the same as the bus! It's only an hour from Queen Alia Airport, so it's surprisingly easy to access✨ Why not visit the Dead Sea in Jordan and make a once-in-a-lifetime memory? 🇯🇴 Jordan has lots of tourist spots and is highly recommended🫶 #MiddleEastTravel #DeadSea #Jordan #OverseasTravelDiary

The Dead Sea is one of Israel's famous tourist spots. It's a standard photo to float in the Dead Sea with a newspaper, but I couldn't find one in Jerusalem, so I took a photo with a bottle of grape juice I brought with me. "I'm really floating! I used to make fun of it, but it's a new sensation and quite fun!!!" But behind this feeling, "My butthole hurts like crazy..." There's also a negative side to it. It's called the Dead Sea because it has such a high salt concentration that no other animals can live there, and even a small abrasion hurts like crazy. (What? My butthole got abrasions!? What???) I guess I wipe my butt too much on a regular basis. I don't want to talk about such dirty stuff, I just wanted to tell you that even a small scratch can hurt like crazy. My hangnails and mosquito bites did hurt, after all. And if you try licking the water from the Dead Sea, it's so bitter that it's dangerous and destroys your sense of taste. It's so bitter that you wonder if it goes beyond salty. If you're a brave traveler, please try the taste of the Dead Sea. lol #photogenicspot #DeadSea #Israel #overseastravel

The Dead Sea, Tue Dead Sea located on the south part of Israel and sharing the border with Jordan. On 2015 it was nominated for 7 wonder of the word... if you are planning to visit in Israel... don’t miss out:)

If you guess where the above photos were taken, it is estimated that many people guess it is Chaka Salt Lake. No, no, this is a set of photos taken by my dead sea in Israel. Impression, playing the Dead Sea in addition to taking a newspaper to play floating, is to take the Dead Sea mud to do the spa. But this time I will open a hidden level for the Dead Sea. Dead sea water is slowly forming white salt crystals on the shore because of the high salt content. Even in the vicinity of the shore, there will be some shoals formed by salt crystals. In fact, this is similar to the principle of salt lakes. . Actually there are many such crystalline salt flats on the Dead Sea, but most of the river banks are a little distance from the road, and the general public beach or the hotels private beach will remove the salt and change it into sand. So most tourists don't know the existence of these crystalline salt flats. The salt flat I found this time is very close to the road. It is just a little south of the famous public beach of Ein Bokek. It can be seen after a few hundred meters. Because there are no attractions, so few people. When I arrived, there was a group of local people who were taking pictures, playing music under the big sun, and having fun. This is a shoal that stretches into the lake. There are a few white crystals that rise slightly above the water and look like white sand at a distance. This piece of lake is also very clear, like a green gem, quite beautiful. But pay attention to the salt crystals are very hard and very tight, you must wear slippers, even then I accidentally knocked my feet out of the blood. Tip: In the summer, the beach is super sun-baked. It is recommended to take pictures in the morning or one night. It will not be so dry, and the light in the morning and evening is better. The suggestion is that in the morning, because the wind in the morning is relatively small, the reflection effect of the sky can be taken. This time we arrived in the evening, the wind is very big, and most of the places do not have the effect of reflection. If you don't live in the Dead Sea, it is recommended to drive by yourself. First of all, the time is more flexible, and the scenery on the second road is also very beautiful. You can take a photo by driving a beautiful spot, but you can understand it by public transportation. We are renting a car in Jerusalem for a day. The small model is very cheap, plus the total risk is less than 200. The fuel cost is four, and the cost of public transportation is similar, but the convenience is self-evident.

Let's talk about the Dead Sea. Because of the high temperature and salt in the Dead Sea, there are no fish in the water to survive, so once I imagined that the color of the Dead Sea was black. Until I really came here, I found that its color will be different at different times of the day, and it can float easily on the water no matter how you are. How to describe it... Its like lying in the Liushui dew... with a drop of dead sea water I tasted it, it was not very salty... but it was disgusting...

When I first met the Dead Sea, I was a geography class in my childhood. I felt quite amazing at the time. After all, the 10,000-volume book lost to Qianli Road, and when it really floated in the Dead Sea, it really felt its magic. It turns out that the dry ducks can also float up. Of course, it is necessary to master the balance and to properly distribute the strength of the waist and abdomen muscles. Sometimes, when you wear the magazine, you will also have a balance because the magazine is too wet. Don't let your eyes, nose and mouth get into the water, you will feel the burning sensation of fire, and you can't disperse for a long time. If there is a wound into the water, although there is healing effect, there is a pain in the wound and salt. I feel a deep malice on a barbed mouth. From the sky, you can't help but admire the magical landscape of our planet. Under the sun, these white sea salt crystals shine like the coral covered by snow on the turquoise sea. Behind the seemingly beautiful, when you really set foot on this crystal, the feeling of footing is comparable to walking on a sharp gravel. Apply the Dead Sea mud, keep it in the dead sea, and don't know where it will float.

Pro test the mystery of the Dead Sea, the world's most navel! I always remember the article on the Dead Sea in the primary school book. The biggest dream is to be able to read newspapers on the Dead Sea. Introduction: The Dead Sea is located between Israel, Jordan and Palestine. It is the largest salt lake in the world. It is also the lowest point on the earth where the land has been exposed. It is called the navel of the world. Really floats naturally, without gravity, completely floating on the water. Despite the high temperature, it can't stop the enthusiasm of floating in the sea. Many people here will come to experience this strange experience. On the map of Israel, you can see that the Dead Sea is divided into two parts, the north is large and the color is dark; the south is small and the color is light. You can also go to the shops selling Dead Sea Mud Mask, which also has cafes, bars and restaurants. I don't recommend buying it here. The first is that the price is not affordable. The second is that some good brands are not here. Here is a brand of AHAVA, an Israeli skin care brand that specializes in the Dead Sea. It can be purchased at an airport duty-free shop in Israel. For example, I feel good about the JY duty-free shop. Traffic Guide: 1. the transportation network of the Dead Sea is very underdeveloped. You can find a local day trip to the Dead Sea in Jerusalem or a hotel next to the Dead Sea in advance 2. You can book a rental from Jerusalem. Go to the car or carpool. You can also do public transportation, I don't recommend it. Because you can go to the Dead Sea to see the scenery earlier. Don't waste time on the road.

The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley between Israel and Jordan. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south and 5 to 16 kilometers wide from east to west. The deepest point is 380.29 meters. The shore of the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth that has been exposed to the earth. It is known as the navel of the world. Looking from afar, the Dead Sea looks like a two-tailed fish. Under the sun, the sea is like an ancient bronze mirror. After the Israeli-Arab war in 1967, the Israeli army occupied the entire West Bank. Experiencing floating here is one thing that everyone dreams of. Many people are reading the Chinese textbook "The Dead Sea is not dead", but after the actual experience, it is also found that the Dead Sea is really easy to float on the water. However, it is worth noting that the eyes should not be contaminated with water, otherwise it will be very painful.

After soaking up the salt water in the Dead Sea, take a 30-year-old off-road vehicle into the hinterland of the Judah Desert. It used to be the basin of the Dead Sea. Now it is the salinized Gobi Desert. It is not a grass, it is very hot, and it has a feeling of outer space. We drove to the heights of the Gobi in the bumps, and saw the vast saline-alkali land and the Great Rift Valley, like the scars of the earth. We drove up a hillside, with a cliff canyon on one side and a quiet Dead Sea on the other, beautiful and charming, lonely and sad. Take the off-road vehicle into the hinterland of the Judah Desert. It used to be the basin of the Dead Sea. It is now the salinized Gobi Desert. It is not a grass, it is very hot, it seems to be the feeling of outer space, not far from the Dead Sea, Israel and Jordan jointly owned, Gary Lihu water was blocked from flowing into the Dead Sea, and the evaporation increased. At the same time, different Dead Sea factories were opened by the lake. The history of the sea and the Dead Sea are also exacerbating death. Here we see Israel's past, present, and future.

Leaving the Judean Desert, we sailed along the Dead Sea to Masada Castle. Masada, a dead sea, is a holy place for Jews. It is a city built along a steep terrain. The Jews made their last resistance to Rome in 70 AD and were trapped for three years. The Romans cut off the water. Afterwards, more than 900 residents of Masada collectively committed suicide and fire. Now here is the place where the Israeli New Army swears ceremony is held. Every Israeli is here to swear that "Masada will never fall again! We have seen many Israeli female soldiers along the way, too Very characteristic view.
