Holidays in Dead Sea

An introduction to Dead Sea

Don't let the name deceive you. Holidays to the Dead Sea leave you feeling more alive than you've ever felt before.

It maybe the lowest point on earth, but the Dead Sea is the height of self-indulgence. A desert landscape dotted with lush oases and top hotels. A lake so jam-packed with goodness there's no room for you to sink into it. And spa after spa perched on its mineral rich shores. So how about a bargain holiday to the Dead Sea?

Tucked away in the Jordan Valley, this gem of lake has been the beauty secret behind many a historical face. So make like Cleopatra and pamper yourself rotten at one the Dead Sea's resorts. Like Ein Gedi - an oasis of freshwater springs, thermal pools and classy hotels – all topped of with a beach by the lake. Or how about Ein Bohek? Home to most of the Dead Sea hotels, complete with promenade and 3 kilometre beach. Sun, sea and spas galore.

But travel to the Dead Sea isn't just for getting muddy and massaged. This is the home of some of history's best known names. Jericho - still standing and the oldest occupied town in the world. The Qumran Caves - the hiding place of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And Masada - two palaces fortresses on top of a superb plateau. For that once in a life time experience, get extreme and sandy at Metzoke Dragot – from safaris to sand sports, it's got the lot. Bit too energetic? Then simply lie back in the lake and bob along turning the pages on the latest best-seller – utterly surreal but the ultimate Dead Sea experience.
