From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Dead Sea Region.

Bring water shoes to protect your feet from the sharp salt crystals along the shore.
Don't shave or have any open cuts before entering the water; the high salt content can cause irritation.
Stay hydrated and use sunscreen, as the region's dry climate and high elevation can be harsh on your skin.
Plan to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the peak heat of the day.
Take advantage of the healing mud available along the shores; many visitors apply it to their skin for its beneficial properties.
