Dead Sea: Health Resorts

Dead Sea: Health Resorts



Along the shores of the Dead Sea, there are many sulphur springs, including hot springs, around which some of the world’s best-known health resorts have developed. It is a pleasurable experience to bathe in the water in which “it is impossible to drown”, and no less pleasurable to sit on the “tongue” of dry land that extends into the turquoise water. The air strata above this low area effectively filter the sun’s rays, so there is less danger of sunburn here than on other beaches. Nevertheless, during the hot hours, it’s wise to hide from the sun’s long rays under a large sunshade.
