Must See world wonder:

 

The Dead Sea is a must see tourist attraction in Israel because of it’s uniqueness, it truly is a one of a kind for many reasons:

The Dead Sea was among the top 14 finalists in the New 7 Wonders of the World.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth at 420 meters below sea level.
Because the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and thus the furthest point on Earth from the sun the harmful U.V. rays are weaker and the sun can in actual fact benefit people suffering from certain skin ailments like Psoriasis. Instead of undergoing months of hospital treatments with artificial U.V. light to improve the Psoriasis, doctors often recommend a two week visit to the Dead Sea instead and say that it has the same effect as months of hospital treatments.

Due to the extraction of minerals from this huge salt lake and natural causes the Dead Sea and other salt concentrated waters are slowly disappearing and so you don’t know how much longer it will be around-see it while you still can!
Floating in the Dead Sea is a must, with the water having a 30% saline level (8 times saltier than the open seas) this is truly a must see! The sea got it’s name because nothing can live in this high salt concentration. It is thought to be the second saltiest body of water on Earth.
At the Dead Sea you will experience the most incredible peace and quiet and it is hard to believe when you are actually
standing next to this iconic site most only dream of seeing. Nestled in the Judean desert the Dead Sea and it’s surroundings offer a silence found in few other tourist spots. You can float in the sea, or hike out into the desert and feel like you are the only man on earth. If you want some company then try one of the luxurious spas along the Dead Sea coast. Each spa has it’s own private beach, fresh water swimming pool and spa treatments.
the dead sea, Israel, must sea tour attractionOne of the most popular of these treatments is the Dead Sea mud mask, either on the entire body or just the face. The Dead Sea black mud contains 35 different minerals in high concentration and has rejuvenating qualities. If you would rather do it yourself then dig some of the Dead Sea mud from the banks of the sea or the sea bed and smear it onto your skin.

The Dead Sea is a refreshing experience and despite being in a desert you will have plenty to do. Visit the nearby Ein Gedi Kibbutz for nature trails, desert waterfalls and oasis and a nature reserve with desert animals. Visit the nearby market in Arad and take a guided tour to the Flour Caves – chalk caves beneath the desert plains, explored with the use of a torch or candle.

Perhaps the most memorable moment of a visit to the Dead Sea is a midnight swim – remember there are no fish to catch you unaware as nothing lives in the Dead Sea.  Then a walk along the Dead Sea water’s edge where you can gaze across the water and mounds of white salt towards Jordan and also look up to the clear desert night sky uninhibited by city pollution.
