Israel 2023 | The Dead Sea

We left Jerusalem very early and arrived at the location before sunrise. Almost 2 hour drive and I'm surprised I was awake 😄
Probably because of the nonstop conversations and the amazing sceneries along the way. 

As soon as we arrived, we chose our spot and set-up our things. My initial impression was it would be crowded but luck was on our side since we were one of the few groups who arrived early. 

I went around for a bit and read the precautions too. So the water temperature is high and I should not let the water touch my eyes due to its salt content. The most important thing is to float only on your back and do not attempt to swim to avoid accidents.

The Dead Sea has extremely high salt concentration making the water dense and therefore exerts a strong upward buoyant force. It is easy for people to float.

What to bring:
1. Sunscreen
2. Hat
3. Lots of water
4. Refreshing snacks
5. Camera



After sunrise, we decided to go back since its too hot already and we wanted to avoid too much crowd.
