DEAD SEA Everything here is, well, dead! The saltiest water and the lowest elevation a person can stand on, on the surface of this planet. This is the Dead Sea. Once again, try to save some time to venture out towards Eilat – a beautiful town bordering Jordan and Egypt in Israel. It is filled with stylish ho- tels, peaceful spas and a ton of water activi- ties in the Red Sea. Unfortunately, this time around we did not have time and could not make it out there. Although we did visit the Dead Sea for a relaxing mud bath and some floating fun. A little tip, keep the sea water out of your eyes and mouth, it is SALTY! A major tip for the ladies: do not make the mistake of shaving before you go. I forgot to take my own advice and shaved my legs prior to dipping in the water. Safe to say my legs were on fire from the high levels of salt! When first submerging in the sea, it starts out a little muddy, but the deeper it gets towards Eilat, the clearer it gets. The turquoise colours begin to pop with the salt banks all over. Overall visiting the Dead Sea was an unforgettable experience, and one that should be on the top of everyone’s bucket list!
