Dead Sea

I visited the Dead Sea from the Israeli side but I put it in this page anyway as the Dead Sea is also in the West Bank.

This is a typical tourist attraction but it is still worth it, it is a very unique experience. The Dead Sea is so salt that fish and other organisms can't live there. The salt gives you the ability to float on top of the water, so it doesn't matter if you can't swim, there is no way you will sink. But, DO NOT splash the water or try floating on your stommack, if you get the salty water in your eyes or mouth, it is PAIN! For the same reason, don't shave legs, armpits or whatever the day before either, any small wound you have will burn in the water....
The Dead Sea mud is supposed to be very good for your skin so have fun and roll yourself in mud..

Directions: East Israel / east in the West Bank, on the border of Jordan
