Program details
Come and visit the Earth’s lowest elevation on land and experience the extraordinary sensation of floating in some of the saltiest waters in the world with this unforgettable tour to the Dead Sea. Soak up the stunning scenery and sample the therapeutic benefits of this mineral-rich place.
At 410 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth. Jordan’s Dead Sea coast is one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the world, and it remains as enticing to international visitors today as it was to kings, emperors, traders, and prophets in ancient times. The main attraction of the Dead Sea is of course the soothing, abnormally salty water itself. The salt content of the water is 31.5%, making the water so buoyant that it is impossible for the visitor to sink. In fact it is so salty that it is impossible for ordinary boats to float – they would just keel over! The water also contains 21 minerals, including high levels of magnesium, sodium, potassium and bromine, and 12 of these minerals are found in no other body of water in the world. Studies have shown the combination of the Dead Sea water and the rich black mud found along the shoreline can have significant health benefits, including increasing circulation, easing discomfort from arthritis, healing allergies, and revitalizing skin.
Come on this unique tour and sample the benefits of Dead Sea therapy for yourself. There is nothing else quite like it.
