A spectacular natural wonder the Dead Sea that is located 427 meters below sea level is perfect for wellness and religious tourism. With its mix of beach living and religious history you can soak up the sun while Biblical scholars can get their daily dose of religious history. The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the warm, soothing, super salty water itself – some ten times saltier than sea water, and rich in chloride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium, bromine and several others. The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra.
Minerals from the Dead Sea have been used for health and medicinal purposes since ancient times. They have been treasured for millennia for their restorative properties and have a history of being used to treat ailments related to breathing, the skin, and more.
You can’t visit the Dead Sea without slathering your entire body with the black goo for health.
Despite its name, the Dead Sea is actually not a sea, but a hyper saline lake. Why is it called the Dead Sea? Because no life forms (plants or living creatures) could survive in its waters, although it does contain microbial life.
