Welcome to the Dead Sea, Israel!


Welcome to one of the most amazing spots in the world, the Dead Sea, Israel. You’ve probably read about the Dead Sea, seen clips of tourists smothering themselves in Dead Sea mud, and maybe even heard of some of the remarkable health benefits to be found in the Dead Sea. Israel does, of course, have many other awesome tourist sites to check out, but we’re not sure any of them match the pure beauty of the Dead Sea.

This site aims to bring you the very best of the Dead Sea, Israel. We’ll tell you where to go and what to do, which hotels and hostels in the Dead Sea area to stay at, stunning pictures and videos from the Dead Sea (including from our own private collection), and products and health tips from one of the world’s most healthiest spots; the Dead Sea.

It’s no wonder that the Dead Sea is currently in the running as one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders (don’t forget to vote!). We love the place and can’t think of anywhere else we’d rather have a float while checking out yesterday’s back pages…

Have a browse around the site, and get yourself a taste of the Dead Sea, Israel. We’re sure you’ll find what you’re looking for…and don’t forget to bookmark us as we’re constantly updating the site.

Hope to see you soon, floating on that amazing Dead Sea!
