The Dead Sea, one of the most amazing reservoirs of the planet - a resort, a hospital and an attraction "in one bottle". Here you can relax on the water surface, buried in your favorite book, treat a lot of sores - from dermatitis to lyumbago and, of course, plenty to sprawl in the healing mud (by the way, some psychologists say that floundering in the slime has a very beneficial effect on consciousness: they say, wakes up memories about the golden months spent in the mother's womb).

Attention: banality (without it anywhere). The Dead Sea is a unique place. No, really. The water in it is extremely salty and contains almost the entire periodic table. That inevitably gives it healing properties. Well, along the desert and rocky shores of the sea there is a large number of selenium-rich thermal springs and deposits of therapeutic peloid mud. Is it worth mentioning the most developed type of rest on the banks of this extraordinary lake?

"It was a fun bath! We could not drown .Here you can stretch out on the water at full length, lying on your back and folding your arms over your chest, with most of the body remaining above the water .At the same time, you can raise your head completely .You can lie very comfortably on your back, lifting your knees to your chin and grasping them with your hands - but soon turn over, since the head outweighs .You can stand on your head - and from the middle of your chest to the end of your legs you will stay out of the water, but you will not be able to keep this position for a long time .You can not swim on your back, moving as much as noticeably, since your legs stick out of the water and you have to push off only with heels .If you swim face down, then move not forward, but back .The horse is so unstable that it can not swim or stand in the Dead Sea - it immediately lies on its side .»

Beaches of the Dead Sea

On the Dead Sea - more than ten beaches, most of them public. They are concentrated in the areas of Ein Bokek and Hamey Zohar. Those who like active leisure, choose the blossoming oasis of Ein Gedi, located near the freshwater sources and an hour's drive from Ein Bokek.

Solar radiation in the area of ​​the Dead Sea is practically devoid of its harmful, "hard" component: here you can safely stay in the sun for 8 hours a day .But in the sea you can swim only two (maximum three) times a day, and then - no longer than 20 minutes .Extremely salty water of the Dead Sea when exposed to mucous membranes causes severe burning .Therefore, plunging into this pond, you should protect your nose, mouth and especially your eyes from water, and in case of what - immediately rinse them under the shower .Well, sprinkle water on neighbors in the Dead Sea will only be a complete misanthrope, besides completely devoid of the instinct of self-preservation .

A few more tips on the same topic: take a shower every time after swimming, do not dive (by the way, still will not work), and do not wipe your eyes with wet hands from sea water.
