The Dead Sea – Minerals, Cosmetic and Skin Care

Deadsea travel guide

In the lowest place on earth, at minus 416 meters below sea level lies the Dead Sea – your chance for a one-of-a-kind relaxing Spa experience. The climate at the Dead Sea, its dry and unpolluted air, and above all its unique mineral qualities make it the perfect location for a truly therapeutic vacation. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back again and again after your first visit to this site, which is one of the greatest Spa resorts in the world.

The Dead Sea has the highest concentration of minerals and salts in the world. Medicine has long recognized the potential of Dead Sea related products for treatment of various skin disorders. The Dead Sea skin care and cosmetics products are known worldwide for their anti-aging qualities and their therapeutic qualities, and there’s no better place to witness these cosmetics products’ remarkable influence than during your visit to the lowest place in the world.

While visiting the Dead Sea, one must try to cover oneself with the unique natural black mud, one of the symbols of the Dead Sea. The black mud, sold worldwide as very effective cosmetics products, improves blood circulation and relieves tensions of mind and muscle. The black mud is rich in minerals – calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, iron, sulfur and sulfites – and invigorates circulation and absorbs toxins. Not to mention it’s fun, too – getting covered by mud and letting it dry is one the most fun Dead Sea experiences. Be sure to bring your camera.

There is a wide variety of therapeutic pools in the Dead Sea, each contain different concentration of minerals and salts. All pools are rich in sulfur, magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium. These minerals penetrate and detoxify the blood stream, relax the muscles and relieve pain. These therapeutic pools can be found either in any of the area’s hotel’s Spa or in the Ein Gedi Dead Sea Spa center.

To make your Spa experience complete, enjoy a massage after bathing in the spring water, and feel the ultimate luxurious feeling. A wide variety of massages given by experts is offered in each of the Spa centers in the Dead Sea. Just be sure to book your treatment in advance.

The Dead Sea Mall

The "Dead Sea Mall" opened for the first time in the Dead Sea, one of the ten wonders of the world. The mall is a tourist attraction and provides an answer to a decades-old shortage. In the new shopping mall, located on a private and amazing beach, there are dozens of stores offering international brands in a variety of fields - clothing, footwear, luxury jewelry, special concept stores and more - as well as cafes and restaurants that provide tourists with additional entertainment places in the hotel area. The mall covers an area of about 15,000 square meters over two floors, and is one of the most beautiful seen in the country. The Dead Sea Mall caters to the Dead Sea area, which is the most visited area in Israel. There is currently no answer for a shopping and entertainment center in this area, and the mall offers an extraordinary tourist experience. The mall is located in the heart of the hotel area in Ein Bokek on the Dead Sea, and is close to the seashore. "The Dead Sea Mall is one of the most original and prestigious commercial projects ever established in Israel. In addition to the extraordinary architecture that corresponds with the environment of the Dead Sea, which has been declared one of the eight wonders of the world, a particularly prestigious mix of stores has been chosen that includes the most well-known and leading chains in the world in order to be able to serve the public in the best possible way."

There are adventure tours and history tours available at Masada. Visiting the mountain's summit before sunrise is recommended, since the temperature is too hot afterward. Visitors can also take a cable car to the top. The ruins from King Herod's period and the historical story of this site are inspiring. From the top of the fort, you can see the Dead Sea and desert mountains beyond, while the views across the Dead Sea are spectacular from the top of the fort. The history of Masada will be brought to life by an experienced guide while explaining the region's unique geography. Alternatively, The Dead Sea is more of a relaxing experience.
