Vert Dead Sea hotel review

Deadsea travel guide

I recently stayed at the Vert Dead Sea hotel and overall, it was a great experience. The hotel is located right by the beach and offers stunning views of the Dead Sea. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a nice balcony.

One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional breakfast and supper that were served at the hotel’s restaurant. The variety of food, especially the vegetables, was impressive and delicious. I also loved the spa facilities, especially the heated pool with Dead Sea water. The Harmony massage was one of the best treatments of my life.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, although there were a few instances where some personnel could have used more training and manners. In particular, the restaurant staff could have been more polite.

One issue I had was with the parking, as the hotel doesn’t have enough parking spots and we had to park at the shopping center next door, which resulted in a parking fee. It’s an ongoing problem, and I think a hotel charging such rates should have allocated parking spots to every room or make arrangements with the parking next door to avoid any surprises.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Vert Dead Sea hotel for its excellent location, comfortable rooms, exceptional food, and spa facilities. It’s a great place to stay if you want to experience the Dead Sea and relax by the beach.

Exploring the Dead Sea in November-December 2025: A Unique Winter Escape

Exploring the Dead Sea in November-December 2025: A Unique Winter Escape

Nestled at the Earth's lowest point, the Dead Sea is a bucket-list destination that shines in the cooler months of November and December. In 2025, this surreal saline lake, bordered by Israel and Jordan, offers a perfect blend of natural wonder, wellness, and cultural charm during the winter season. With daytime temperatures hovering between 20-25°C (68-77°F) in November and 15-20°C (59-68°F) in December, it’s an ideal time to visit—mild enough for outdoor adventures, yet free from the scorching summer heat. Whether you're floating effortlessly in mineral-rich waters, hiking desert canyons, or soaking up history, the Dead Sea in late 2025 promises an unforgettable escape. Here’s your guide to making the most of it. Why Visit the Dead Sea in Winter? November and December transform the Dead Sea region into a comfortable haven for explorers. The cooler weather makes hiking and sightseeing a breeze, while the water remains warm enough (around 20°C/68°F) for floating and therapeutic mud baths. Rainfall is minimal but can bring lush greenery to the surrounding desert, especially in oases like Ein Gedi. Fewer crowds mean more space to relax at resorts or historic sites, and off-season rates make it budget-friendly. Pack light layers, sunscreen, and a swimsuit—yes, even in winter! Top Experiences: Nature, Wellness, and History The Dead Sea is more than just a buoyant swim; it’s a region rich with activities. Here’s what to dive into: Float in the Dead Sea: At 34% salinity, you’ll bob like a cork in this iconic lake. Public beaches like Ein Gedi Beach or Kalia Beach (entry ~20-60 ILS) are great for a quick dip, while luxury resorts like the Dead Sea Marriott or Kempinski offer private access with spa perks. Slather on the mineral-packed mud for a natural skin treatment—your glow will thank you. Hike Ein Gedi Nature Reserve: This desert oasis bursts with waterfalls and wildlife. The David Stream trail (1-2 hours, easy) leads to cascading pools perfect for a refreshing dip. November’s mild temps make it ideal for longer treks like the Mount Sodom hike, with views over salt formations. Entry: ~28 ILS. Explore Masada National Park: Ascend this UNESCO-listed fortress by cable car or sunrise hike for panoramic Dead Sea views. The story of Jewish rebels defying Rome in 73 CE is gripping, and winter’s cooler air makes the climb enjoyable. Entry: ~31 ILS; cable car extra. Discover Qumran Caves: Uncover the birthplace of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This archaeological site, where ancient manuscripts were found, offers a peek into 2,000-year-old history. Guided tours (~$10-15) add context. Pair it with a visit to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem to see the scrolls themselves. Relax at a Spa: The Dead Sea’s minerals are a wellness magnet. Resorts like the Herods Dead Sea offer treatments from mud wraps to sulfur baths. Day passes (~100-200 ILS) let you indulge without an overnight stay. Events and Festivals: Winter 2025 Highlights The Dead Sea area hosts a few unique events in November-December 2025, blending culture, sport, and nature. While the region is quieter than Jerusalem, these gatherings add sparkle to your trip (check exact dates closer to travel as some are TBD): Dead Sea Marathon | Early November (TBD, ~Nov 7-8) | Run or cheer along a scenic 5K, 10K, or full marathon course by the water. Perfect for active travelers; post-race parties include local food and music. Registration: ~150-300 ILS. | Ein Gedi Desert Music Festival | Mid-November (TBD, ~Nov 14-16) | Acoustic and classical performances in the stunning Ein Gedi Reserve. Think moonlit concerts amid waterfalls—intimate and unforgettable. Tickets: ~50-100 ILS. | Hanukkah Eco-Workshops | Dec 14-22 | Family-friendly activities at Kibbutz Ein Gedi, like crafting olive oil lamps or eco-tours of the botanical gardens. Free or low-cost; great for kids. | Christmas Retreats | Dec 24-25 | Wellness-focused Christmas yoga and meditation retreats at Dead Sea resorts. Expect serene vibes with desert views. Prices vary (~$100-300 for day programs). | ---- Practical Tips for Your Trip Getting There: From Jerusalem (1-hour drive), take a shared taxi (~30 ILS) or Egged bus 486 (~20 ILS). From Tel Aviv, it’s ~2 hours by bus or rental car. Jordan day trips are doable via Allenby Bridge tours (~$100). Where to Stay: Budget-friendly guesthouses at Kibbutz Ein Gedi (~$80/night) or splurge on the Dead Sea Hilton (~$200/night). Book early for December holiday deals. Dining: Savor hummus and shakshuka at roadside cafes like Lot’s Wife near Masada. Resorts offer international buffets, but don’t miss local Bedouin-inspired dishes like zarb (meat cooked in an underground oven). Health Note: Limit Dead Sea swims to 20 minutes to avoid skin irritation. Rinse off after mud applications and stay hydrated—the desert air is sneaky. Why It’s Special The Dead Sea in winter is a paradox: a lifeless lake surrounded by vibrant history and ecosystems. Floating under a November sunset or hiking to a waterfall in December feels like a secret shared with the desert. It’s a place to recharge, reflect, and marvel at nature’s quirks—where else can you read a book while floating without sinking? Plan your visit for November-December 2025, and let the Dead Sea work its magic. Share your tips or dream itinerary in the comments! 🌊 #DeadSeaWinter #TravelIsrael #NaturalWonder

Dead Sea scrolls and Qumran

Dead Sea scrolls and Qumran

The Qumran Ruin is a complex of structures located in the Yehuda Desert on the verge of the Dead Sea. It can be found on a barren terrace between the Dead Sea and the cliffs where the long-untouched Qumran Caves reside. The Qumran Ruin is located just next to the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, some 1300 feet below sea level and several kilometers south of Jericho, and is one of the main tourist attractions in the Dead Sea area. The design of the Qumran ruin is unique, with many large halls that used to serve public functions, and a relatively small number of living quarters. The main structure used to have several rooms arranged around a central courtyard. Additional building complexes, to the south and east of the main building, have contained long halls, rooms and ritual baths. A large number of mikva'ot (ritual baths) were found throughout the site, as was typical of public and private buildings in Jerusalem in the Second Temple period. Beside the spectacular archeological value of these ancient ruins, Qumran is best known as the nearest settlement to the burial place of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Dead Sea scrolls were discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves around the area, and have been considered to be the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times. The scrolls consist of about 825 to 870 separate documents of great religious and historical importance that include the only known existing copies of Biblical documents created before 100 AD. The Dead Sea Scrolls were most likely written by the Essenes, a strict Torah observant, Messianic, new covenant Jewish sect during the period lasting from about 200 B.C. to 68 A.D. They enhance our knowledge of both Judaism and Christianity, and represent a non-rabbinic form of Judaism alongside a wealth of comparative materials for New Testament scholars. Visiting the Qumran National Park is an exciting and inspiring experience. The most important findings in the area are the ones from the end of the Second Temple period and from the Bar-Kochva rebellion era. It is possible to see the cave in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and other structures that were excavated nearby. An audio-visual presentation tells the story of the site and the people who used to live here. In addition, it is possible to take a short walk up the Qumran canyon, in a nice desert surrounding, and appreciate the one-of-a-kind surrounding of the lowest place on earth.

Masada - world heritage site a tourist destination by the Dead Sea

Masada - world heritage site a tourist destination by the Dead Sea

Masada is the most visited site of all the archaeological sites in Israel and one of its main tourist attractions. It contains ancient palaces and fortifications located on top of an isolated rock plateau in a stunning desert site overlooking the Dead Sea. And it holds a great historical value, too. Masada (meaning 'fortress' in Hebrew) became known for its attributed mythic significance in the First Jewish-Roman War (also known as the Great Jewish Revolt). In the first century A.D. nearly a thousand Jewish rebels who believed in zero-tolerance toward the Roman rule took over the fortress and were surrounded by the Roman army, which left behind the most complete siege works in the world. When defeat appeared imminent, the rebels chose to commit suicide instead of giving in and spending the rest of their lives as slaves. This made Mesada a symbol of the human spirit’s yearning for freedom. The Israel Nature and Parks Protection Authority had expertly restored the ruins of Masada, so visitors can almost re-live the last days of this heroic story's main characters. The latest attraction is the remarkable new museum, with nine dramatically lit rooms displaying some precious finds alongside life-size statues. In the Masada museum, visitors can easily picture the lives and deaths of these Jewish fugitives, who refused to surrender. Beyond the mythic importance of this site, you will find the Dead Sea and desert mountains views absolutely stupendous. The cliffs on the east edge of this Dead Sea site are about 1,300 feet high and the cliffs on the west are about 300 feet high. The fortress can be reached from two directions today - either from the Dead Sea in the east, via the original and steep "snake path", or from the west on a path built from the old Roman ramp, offering an easier climb or a cable car. Masada is a world heritage site and a very popular tourist destination. It is definitely one of your must-see sites while visiting the holy land. Visitors can stay at many of the hotels located at the Dead sea Ein Bokek area, Ein Gedi, and Kalia.
