Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the largest seas on the planet .Its name comes from the ancient Greek language and in translation means "the sea in the middle of the Earth" .The resorts of the Mediterranean are in great demand and are known around the world..Israel is washed by the sea in the west .The long coast stretches for at least 240 km .All the beaches are sandy, among them there are both private and public .Private - a minority, so that not every hotel has its own place for resting .Some municipal beaches are not equipped with everything necessary for comfortable rest..
The main resort cities on the Mediterranean coast of Israel are Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Netanya. Fine sand, high-class hotels, with budget options, good service and the ability to move around the city in any form of clothing, unlike Israeli religious centers, - the virtues of local rest.
Red Sea
Red Sea - Inland Sea of the Indian Ocean .It is not known exactly where his name came from, .According to one of the versions - from the ancient Egyptian language, in which the same word denoted both the desert and the red color ."The sea of desert lands" - this is the name the Egyptians called this place in the distant past .The underwater world of the Red Sea is diverse, however, unfortunately, due to years of neglect of the flora and fauna, it is now on the verge of extinction .Attempts to preserve unique plant and animal species are undertaken both on the territory of Egypt and in Israel, which is washed by the Eilat Gulf .
Eilat - the most famous resort in Israel, with magnificent scenery and a wonderful underwater reserve. Mountains, desert, clear sea and nearby coral reefs attract fans of outdoor activities - divers, lovers of sailing, etc. The bottom is rocky, so the approach to the sea is carried out either on a pontoon or in special shoes. But the corals growing right by the shore allow you to enjoy the underwater beauties.
Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is a vast lake between Israel and Jordan, in whose water, because of the high level of salinity, only protozoa can exist, but not fish and animals. The unique mineral composition not only treats chronic skin diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, but also calms the nervous system. All kinds of cosmetic procedures with Dead Sea mud work for the benefit of the skin of the body and face.
Most of the beaches are rocky. Where there is a private territory, there are special handrails for convenient descent into the water. Entry into the water only in special shoes, as it can be injured not only on the shore, but also in the water. Long "sit" in the sea is not recommended. Two visits a day for twenty minutes - that's enough. But sunbathing in the sun can be all the time, without fear of scorching. A natural filter created by the evaporation of the sea will protect the skin.
