Most famous beach in the world - Dead Sea 🌊!
The Dead Sea, a natural wonder, offers an unparalleled beach experience. Nestled between Jordan and Israel, its beaches are anything but ordinary. The water is so densely saturated with salt and minerals that you can effortlessly float on the surface. These minerals, believed to have therapeutic properties, also transform the shore into a natural spa retreat. Slathering yourself with the thick, mineral-rich mud and then rinsing in the calm sea is indeed an experience of a lifetime. Beyond the beach, the extraordinary landscape, dominated by hilly terrains and stark desert beauty, unfolds. The Dead Sea, with its unique aquatic environment and captivating surroundings, provides an enchanting escape unlike any other beach destination.

If visiting Jordan the Dead Sea is an attraction that you should definitely not miss! The beaches are covered with salt, the views are amazing, and “swimming” in the Dead Sea is unlike any other place. I made Kempinski Hotel my “base” for several days and visited surrounding attractions while still enjoying the luxuries available at the hotel.

Float, Relax, Repeat: My Dead Sea Adventure in Jordan!
If you are heading to Jordan, a visit to the Dead Sea is an absolute must. I recently spend a day soaking in its healing waters and relaxing at the hotel O Beach Hotel & Resort, and it was one of my highlights of the trip!
💦 Dead Sea Vibes: Started the day floating effortlessly in the Dea Sea - it’s like nothing else in Earth! Don’t forget to slather yourself in mineral-rich mud for the ultimate natural spa treatment #deadsea
- Pro tip: avoid getting water in your eyes, it’s too salty!
I highly recommend to cover yourself in the mud and let it dry for the ultimate detox before rinsing off in the salty water!
🏨 O Beach Hotel & Resort: After soaking in the Dead Sea, I headed to the hotel for some pool time with panoramic Dead Sea Views! It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. The hotel hs direct acess to the Dead Sea and we had another bath in the afternoon! The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the water. The resort also offer a day pass if you are not staying overnight!
🌅 The sunset there was unreal, so definitely a must! #sunset
🥙 Dinner with a View: Dinner was a treat - fresh local cuisine with the most breathtaking view. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while sipping a cold drink! Just magic #deliciousfood #localfood
Travel tips:
- Stay hydrated: The Dead Sea can be drying. We went in September and it was still very hot.
- Time your visit: Go early or late in the day for cooler temperatures.
- Avoid shaving: If you have recently shaved, the salty water can sting quite a bit, so try ti avoid it.
- Don’t miss the sunset!
A perfect blend of adventure. Truly recommended!

Floating in the Dead Sea
#summerdestinations
The shores of the Dead Sea are a mix of rocky outcrops and smooth, mineral-enriched mud, famous for its therapeutic properties. Visitors from around the world come to cover themselves in the rich, black mud, known for its ability to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. After letting the mud dry under the warm Jordanian sun, a dip in the sea will wash it away, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed. Aside from its natural beauty and unique bathing experience, the Dead Sea region is steeped in history and cultural significance.

Discovering the Depths of the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, bordering Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west, is one of the world's most remarkable natural wonders. Known for being the lowest point on Earth, this salt lake is famous not only for its hypersaline water, in which one can float effortlessly, but also for the mineral-rich mud that is beneficial for the skin.
What to Expect
Visitors to the Dead Sea will find a serene, almost otherworldly landscape. The stark beauty of the surrounding desert contrasts with the deep blue of the water. The high salinity of the lake makes it uninhabitable for marine life, hence the name "Dead Sea." The shores are lined with salt crystals, and the water has a slick, oily feel due to the high mineral content.
Experiences and Recommendations
Floating in the Dead Sea is a must-do experience. The buoyancy created by the salt concentration allows you to float on the surface effortlessly. Applying the therapeutic black mud found along the shore to your skin is believed to have healing properties and is a popular spa treatment. For those interested in history and archaeology, the nearby ancient fortresses and ruins, like Masada in Israel and the mosaics of Madaba in Jordan, offer a rich historical context to the area.
Tips and Tricks
The best times to visit the Dead Sea are during spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is milder. The midday sun can be intense, so it's recommended to avoid long exposure during peak hours. Water shoes are a good idea to protect your feet from the rough salt crystals on the seabed. It's also important to rinse off in fresh water after swimming to remove the salt from your skin and hair.

check-in at the Rose Desert, must-see guide to the mysterious ancient city of Petra.
Lost ancient city, rose desert | Wear a long skirt and go to Jordan
Seven wonders of the world, Mars on Earth.
The lonely ancient city, crossing the desert of a thousand years;
The amazing Dead Sea, tracing the source of faith.
When going to Jordan, remember to bring a long skirt that drags on the ground, swaying in the wind and showing off your grace in the rose desert.
Jordan offers visa on arrival and is a relatively safe country in the Middle East with friendly relations with China. Spring and autumn are the peak tourist seasons.
Must-visit spot:
📍Petra Ancient City
The ancient city is very large. If time allows, at least 2-3 days should be arranged for hiking and taking photos. Climb to the mountaintop and overlook the Kazni Temple, or pass through the canyon and peek into the Rose City through the cracks.
📍Dead Sea
Jordan has the best vacation environment among the countries around the Dead Sea. You can stay there for a night, arrange your time freely, and take a beautiful photo of reading while floating.
📍Vadhiram
Also known as Moon Valley. But it actually looks more like the surface of Mars and is a filming location for many science fiction movies. Here you can experience the must-try desert bubble hotel in this lifetime.
In addition, the capital Amman is also a must-visit place not to be missed. If time allows, there are also Aqaba on the shores of the Red Sea and Jerash, the city of Rome. If you are fascinated by the mysterious Middle East, then you must not miss Jordan.

Jordan
Jordan, officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a country located in the West Asia region, bordering Syria, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. The capital of the country is Amman, and the largest city is Aqaba.
Jordan is a dry country surrounded by hills and mountains in the Levant region. In addition, Jordan has many famous attractions such as the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Valley mentioned in the Old Testament, and the tourist destination of Oman. These attractions make Jordan a popular tourist destination.
Jordan is a traditionally monarchic country, and King Abdullah II is the monarch. The official language of the country is Arabic, and the majority of the population practices Islam. Jordan's economy is mainly based on tourism, chemical industry, agriculture, and mineral extraction, and the country is also a commercial center in the Middle East.
In terms of politics, Jordan has always been one of the relatively stable countries in the Middle East, and it has a place in Middle Eastern and international affairs. As a country that follows Islamic law, Jordan has a deep understanding and appreciation of Islamic culture and traditions, and also supports and promotes the harmonious development of Islam.
My itinerary started from Dubai to Amman, Jordan. The next day, I went to Jerash, which can be reached by charter or by taking a minibus from the North Station. Jerash has preserved a large number of ancient Roman ruins, and the rise and fall of ancient Rome can be seen in the ruins. After returning from Jerash, I visited the ancient Roman theater and Citadel Hill in Amman. The next day, I went to Petra and chatted with a Dutch guy on the way. Petra is a very large ancient city, and it can be tiring to walk around, but overall it was manageable. Continuing down from Petra, I arrived at Wadi Rum, which is famous for its red desert and is the most Mars-like place on this planet. I stayed in the desert for one night and saw the starry sky that I hadn't seen in a long time. The local Bedouin people were very hospitable, and there were people from all over the world in the tents.
Continuing down from Petra, you will arrive at Aqaba, the only port city in Jordan, a small town different from other cities in Amman. Finally, I went to the Dead Sea to experience floating. If you have wounds on your body, you will float especially easily.

If you guess where the above photos were taken, it is estimated that many people guess it is Chaka Salt Lake. No, no, this is a set of photos taken by my dead sea in Israel.
Impression, playing the Dead Sea in addition to taking a newspaper to play floating, is to take the Dead Sea mud to do the spa. But this time I will open a hidden level for the Dead Sea. Dead sea water is slowly forming white salt crystals on the shore because of the high salt content. Even in the vicinity of the shore, there will be some shoals formed by salt crystals. In fact, this is similar to the principle of salt lakes. .
Actually there are many such crystalline salt flats on the Dead Sea, but most of the river banks are a little distance from the road, and the general public beach or the hotels private beach will remove the salt and change it into sand. So most tourists don't know the existence of these crystalline salt flats. The salt flat I found this time is very close to the road. It is just a little south of the famous public beach of Ein Bokek. It can be seen after a few hundred meters.
Because there are no attractions, so few people. When I arrived, there was a group of local people who were taking pictures, playing music under the big sun, and having fun. This is a shoal that stretches into the lake. There are a few white crystals that rise slightly above the water and look like white sand at a distance. This piece of lake is also very clear, like a green gem, quite beautiful. But pay attention to the salt crystals are very hard and very tight, you must wear slippers, even then I accidentally knocked my feet out of the blood.
Tip: In the summer, the beach is super sun-baked. It is recommended to take pictures in the morning or one night. It will not be so dry, and the light in the morning and evening is better. The suggestion is that in the morning, because the wind in the morning is relatively small, the reflection effect of the sky can be taken. This time we arrived in the evening, the wind is very big, and most of the places do not have the effect of reflection.
If you don't live in the Dead Sea, it is recommended to drive by yourself. First of all, the time is more flexible, and the scenery on the second road is also very beautiful. You can take a photo by driving a beautiful spot, but you can understand it by public transportation. We are renting a car in Jerusalem for a day. The small model is very cheap, plus the total risk is less than 200. The fuel cost is four, and the cost of public transportation is similar, but the convenience is self-evident.

Let's talk about the Dead Sea. Because of the high temperature and salt in the Dead Sea, there are no fish in the water to survive, so once I imagined that the color of the Dead Sea was black. Until I really came here, I found that its color will be different at different times of the day, and it can float easily on the water no matter how you are. How to describe it... Its like lying in the Liushui dew... with a drop of dead sea water I tasted it, it was not very salty... but it was disgusting...

The four seas are not dead, and the four seas are colored. If you want to drift, you can lift the four legs.
Jeep drove into the desolate, suddenly deep trenches, the masses in the Jewish desert.

When I first met the Dead Sea, I was a geography class in my childhood. I felt quite amazing at the time. After all, the 10,000-volume book lost to Qianli Road, and when it really floated in the Dead Sea, it really felt its magic. It turns out that the dry ducks can also float up. Of course, it is necessary to master the balance and to properly distribute the strength of the waist and abdomen muscles. Sometimes, when you wear the magazine, you will also have a balance because the magazine is too wet. Don't let your eyes, nose and mouth get into the water, you will feel the burning sensation of fire, and you can't disperse for a long time. If there is a wound into the water, although there is healing effect, there is a pain in the wound and salt. I feel a deep malice on a barbed mouth. From the sky, you can't help but admire the magical landscape of our planet. Under the sun, these white sea salt crystals shine like the coral covered by snow on the turquoise sea. Behind the seemingly beautiful, when you really set foot on this crystal, the feeling of footing is comparable to walking on a sharp gravel. Apply the Dead Sea mud, keep it in the dead sea, and don't know where it will float.

Pro test the mystery of the Dead Sea, the world's most navel!
I always remember the article on the Dead Sea in the primary school book. The biggest dream is to be able to read newspapers on the Dead Sea.
Introduction:
The Dead Sea is located between Israel, Jordan and Palestine. It is the largest salt lake in the world. It is also the lowest point on the earth where the land has been exposed. It is called the navel of the world.
Really floats naturally, without gravity, completely floating on the water. Despite the high temperature, it can't stop the enthusiasm of floating in the sea. Many people here will come to experience this strange experience.
On the map of Israel, you can see that the Dead Sea is divided into two parts, the north is large and the color is dark; the south is small and the color is light.
You can also go to the shops selling Dead Sea Mud Mask, which also has cafes, bars and restaurants.
I don't recommend buying it here. The first is that the price is not affordable. The second is that some good brands are not here.
Here is a brand of AHAVA, an Israeli skin care brand that specializes in the Dead Sea. It can be purchased at an airport duty-free shop in Israel. For example, I feel good about the JY duty-free shop.
Traffic Guide:
1, the transportation network of the Dead Sea is very underdeveloped. You can find a local day trip to the Dead Sea in Jerusalem or a hotel next to the Dead Sea in advance
2. You can book a rental from Jerusalem. Go to the car or carpool. You can also do public transportation, I don't recommend it. Because you can go to the Dead Sea to see the scenery earlier. Don't waste time on the road.

The jeep was sown in the Gobi, sometimes smooth, and sometimes bumpy. Along the way, the feeling of ridiculousness and vicissitudes of life is getting stronger and stronger. The landforms that have been eroded by the lakes are layered and stacked.
After crossing the bottom of the valley, crawling on the steep hillside, finally a high ground. Standing on the sand land where wind erosion and water erosion are very serious, the desert is layered in front of the eyes, and the lines that create the level are the vastness of the desert.
This passage runs through the sky, runs through the ancient and modern times, and runs through the hearts of every visitor. I can't help but imagine that Judah, surrounded by clear water thousands of years ago, doesn't know what it looks like. You probably remember the article "The Dead Sea is not dead" in the middle school textbook. It used to be my first knowledge with Israel. I came here many years later, and I can't take it for granted.
The Dead Sea is the lowest area on the surface of the Earth and the deepest saltwater lake in the world. It is also the third water body on the earth. Looking from afar, the waves of the Dead Sea are one after another, boundless, shaped like a two-tailed fish, in the sunlight, like an ancient bronze mirror.
High concentration of rock salt makes no such fish and shrimps, water plants, and even the beaches in such a vast sea. But people can swim freely in this fish-free grass, even if it is not The swimmer always floats on the water. The Dead Sea looks far away, and the blue is mottled with blue and green, even enchanting. Walking close, the water that lacks the creature looks clear and transparent, and the sand and stone on the bottom of the sea are clearly visible.

[Top1 recommended] floating in the valley of the world - Dead Sea
Remember the Dead Sea mentioned in the textbook, this is a magical place, where you can float freely, people call it the sea, but he Not the sea, he lay quietly between Israel and Jordan, quietly watching at the lowest altitude in the world.
[Top2 recommended] Jeep crossing, desert sunset - Judah desert
in the Dead Sea, another not to be missed experience, is to take off-road vehicles, into the Judah Desert, Judah Desert, not really meaning The desert, perhaps using Gobi to describe him, is more appropriate.
If time permits, you can choose to watch the sunset in the hinterland of the Judah Desert. It must be a different experience. The soil of the Judah Desert is relatively soft, so don't go to the edge of the cliff. The bottom is the abyss
[Top3 recommended] winds and clouds, half of the desert, half of the sea--Masada
Masada is ancient Israel Symbol of the Jewish state, during the Second Temple of Jerusalem

The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley between Israel and Jordan. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south and 5 to 16 kilometers wide from east to west. The deepest point is 380.29 meters. The shore of the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth that has been exposed to the earth. It is known as the navel of the world. Looking from afar, the Dead Sea looks like a two-tailed fish. Under the sun, the sea is like an ancient bronze mirror. After the Israeli-Arab war in 1967, the Israeli army occupied the entire West Bank.
Experiencing floating here is one thing that everyone dreams of. Many people are reading the Chinese textbook "The Dead Sea is not dead", but after the actual experience, it is also found that the Dead Sea is really easy to float on the water. However, it is worth noting that the eyes should not be contaminated with water, otherwise it will be very painful.

After soaking up the salt water in the Dead Sea, take a 30-year-old off-road vehicle into the hinterland of the Judah Desert. It used to be the basin of the Dead Sea. Now it is the salinized Gobi Desert. It is not a grass, it is very hot, and it has a feeling of outer space. We drove to the heights of the Gobi in the bumps, and saw the vast saline-alkali land and the Great Rift Valley, like the scars of the earth. We drove up a hillside, with a cliff canyon on one side and a quiet Dead Sea on the other, beautiful and charming, lonely and sad. Take the off-road vehicle into the hinterland of the Judah Desert. It used to be the basin of the Dead Sea. It is now the salinized Gobi Desert. It is not a grass, it is very hot, it seems to be the feeling of outer space, not far from the Dead Sea, Israel and Jordan jointly owned, Gary Lihu water was blocked from flowing into the Dead Sea, and the evaporation increased. At the same time, different Dead Sea factories were opened by the lake. The history of the sea and the Dead Sea are also exacerbating death. Here we see Israel's past, present, and future.

Leaving the Judean Desert, we sailed along the Dead Sea to Masada Castle.
Masada, a dead sea, is a holy place for Jews. It is a city built along a steep terrain. The Jews made their last resistance to Rome in 70 AD and were trapped for three years. The Romans cut off the water. Afterwards, more than 900 residents of Masada collectively committed suicide and fire.
Now here is the place where the Israeli New Army swears ceremony is held. Every Israeli is here to swear that "Masada will never fall again!
We have seen many Israeli female soldiers along the way, too Very characteristic view.

Mushroom Jun's Asian travel
Israel, Dead Sea
in the Dead Sea, finally do not have to worry that they are too "heavy" fell into the sea.
The salt content of the Dead Sea is as high as 33%. It is not a problem to float here. If you wear a swimsuit, you can enjoy the time of being embraced by the water at sea. It doesn't matter if you can't swim. Just relax and keep balance.
Floating in the Dead Sea is not a problem, but don't try to swim. The strong buoyancy will make people lose their balance. If you just touch the eyes or wounds when you lose your balance, it feels sour. .
Recommended to wear a bright color swimsuit with a good-looking fashion magazine on the cover, take a group of "Dragon Sea Floating" fashion blockbusters!
Experience the floating of the Dead Sea, the best time is early morning and evening. Choose a hotel next to the Dead Sea, where you can float in the golden Dead Sea in the morning and enjoy the unique Black Mud Spa in the evening. This kind of Israel can't be missed.

The Dead Sea is not the sea, but the lowest lake in the world. The water contains a high concentration of salt, which is 8.6 times that of the general sea water, so that no organisms in the water can survive. Only bacteria and green algae, even the surrounding areas are not grass, this is not the case. It is one of the reasons why people named the Dead Sea.
