Four Reasons Why Any Tour to Israel Should Include the Dead Sea

Surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Negev Desert, the Dead Sea in Israel is known to be the lowest point on Earth. It is also known to be one of the most captivating places on the planet.

 

Its name, “Dead Sea”, gives a feeling of a dull, inert body of water that should be last on a vacationer’s list. However, when given a chance, it surpasses all expectations. Here are some of the reasons why your best private guided tour of Israel should include a visit to the Dead Sea.

Breath taking beauty and an unforgettable experience

The Dead Sea is eight times saltier than any sea, which makes human bodies more buoyant than ever. The sensation you get floating in the dead sea is simply incredible, you just need to lean back, relax, and enjoy the ambiance of a true world wonder.

Therapeutic mud for your skin

The mud found on the seafloor is high in many minerals which makes a mud bath in the sea an absolutely therapeutic experience. There are also plenty of spas around the coast in case you are looking for the full spa experience.

A place rich in salt and even richer in history

The Dead Sea is almost three million years old. It is also believed to first be identified by Herod the Great. Cleopatra is also believed to have been a huge supporter of the health benefits of its waters and mud, and it has been discovered that the Egyptians used the blacktop it produced to help preserve their pharaohs.

A relaxing, undisturbed experience

The higher percentage of salt in the water makes it impossible for any plant to animal to live. Even though this makes the Dead Sea a fisherman’s nightmare, it also makes it the ideal place for travelers who hate the feeling of bizarre things brushing their legs in the water.

Masada

It’s no wonder that Masada, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, continues to be one of Israel’s biggest tourist sites. The Masada fortress, positioned in the Judaean Desert over a magnificent rock plateau, is a special place in Jewish history. It is the place where 1,000 Jewish rebels entered to commit mass suicide as a hold up to the Great Revolt against Rome. The panoramic views from Masada are just as spectacular as its back story. This site is known to be the one of the most breathtaking examples of architecture that has ever been established in the Roman world.

Golden city of Jerusalem

The Old City of Jerusalem has been the cultural, religious, and historical epicenter of the world. Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the capital city of Israel, Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. This city has a winding passage and several famous sites such as: the Western Wall (which attracts thousands of Jewish worshippers each day), the Church of Holy sepulcher (considered as the holiest places in the Christian religion), the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque (for Islamic people) and many other places for each and every religion.

Bethlehem

A short drive south of Jerusalem features Bethlehem, believed to be the birthplace of Jesus of Nazareth. The town is inhabited by one of the oldest Christian communities in the world and the main sites of interest are Rachel’s Tomb (also one of the holiest sites in Judaism). Israel Classic Tours will take you to the Church of the Nativity, believed to be the oldest church in the world, and the place where Jesus was born.

Nazareth

Nazareth is located in the Galilee region where the Virgin Mary lived and raised Jesus; as a result, it has a lot of significance for Christian pilgrimage. The beautiful Church of Annunciation is a must-see while on Israel classic tours to Nazareth. It is the Byzantine church built over the place where it is believed that the angel Gabriel confirms to Mother Mary that she would give birth to the son of God.

The Kotel

The Western Wall (or Kotel) is the amazing historical and holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem. No journey to Jerusalem is complete without a visit to the Kotel, believed to be the holiest place for the Jewish faith. Israel classic tours lead you to the 2000-year-old wall made of limestone, containing the last remains of the Second Jewish Temple. You can also write a wish or personal note on a scrap of paper and slit it in the cracks of the wall as people have done it for generations.
