Holidays in the Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, lying at the bottom of the Great Syrian African Rift Valley, about 400 metres (1280ft) below sea level. The area is renowned for the health giving properties of its rich minerals, and the Dead Sea is known as 'nature's own health farm'.

More than just another interesting sightseeing destination, the Dead Sea is one of the most fascinating places on earth, boasting an extraordinary combination of natural geography, history, archaeology and luxurious pampering options that together add up to an unforgettable holiday.

The healing properties of the Dead Sea have been known for centuries, and people have travelled from the world over to relieve symptoms of rheumatism, arthritis and psoriasis.

Many also come to the Dead Sea simply to relax in the resort's unique atmosphere. The extra bromine in the air helps to slow down the system, inducing a feeling of relaxation that one cannot find anywhere else in the world. An ideal place to recharge your batteries!

Looking out over the Dead Sea is the mountain fortress of Massada, accessible by either the Snake Path or by cable car and an ideal destination for a day-trip.
