Dead Sea (Yam Ha-melah) Guide

Lying 400m (1320ft) below sea level and spanning the border between Israel and Jordan, the Dead Sea is a natural wonder. It contains more minerals and salt than any other stretch of water in the world, and thus it is possible to float on top of the water.

Its natural properties make it a prime centre for spa treatments and relaxation therapies and there are a number of resorts in the area. The Dead Sea has strong Biblical connections: the salt mountain range of Mount Sodom is, according to the Bible, the site of the sinful city that perished alongside Gomorra.

In turn, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Biblical documents known to be in existence, were discovered at Qumran, a restored archaeological site in the north. Masada is also located on the Israeli shores of the Dead Sea. The Ein Gedi Nature Reserve and Kibbutz provides opportunities for spotting desert wildlife and offers trails to waterfalls, canyons, caves and shallow pools. Metzoke Dragot, located in a deep crater, is a popular site for more adventurous sports such as abseiling, climbing (with amazing desert views) and mountain biking.
