The Dead Sea Experience
What’s it actually like to float in the Dead Sea? Incredible. The moment you wade in, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Your body wants to float, even if you’ve never floated before in your life. It’s almost surreal to just lean back and bob there effortlessly.
Most visitors soak for about 15-20 minutes. Your skin will tingle from the minerals, which is totally normal. After you get out, you’ll want to rinse off in the freshwater pools right away to remove the salt and prevent irritation. Many people apply the mineral mud available at the beach before or after the water, letting it dry on their skin for that spa-like benefit.
A practical note: the shoreline has sharp salt crystals, so water shoes are essential. Don’t skip them. Also, avoid getting the water in your eyes or any open cuts; the high salinity burns. Bring extra drinking water because the minerals will make you thirsty. The whole experience is what people travel across the world for, and you get it here at public beach prices.
