Visiting the Dead Sea whilst on Sharm El Sheikh Holidays
The only thing that the Dead Sea used to be famous for was the slightly ludicrous photographs of a man reading a newspaper whilst floating on the sea. But there is definitely more to the Dead Sea than floating. At 1300 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet. People have woken up to the fact that this landlocked area of mineral enriched water has therapeutic and healing qualities, a fact known since Biblical times. People on Sharm el Sheikh holidays are catching a plane and coming here to take the waters.
This area is steeped in history, with legend suggesting that Cleopatra and King Herod were regular visitors here. Like people today they came from miles away to enjoy the cleansing and rejuvenating qualities of the mud and water. The mud and salts here are so famous that they’re shipped internationally to spas and beauty salons.
If you’re on Naama bay holidays, take a bus journey or short flight to Israel to enjoy the benefits of the Dead Sea. Thousands of others make this trip every year, thanks to the low cost and ease. Also be sure to visit one of the natural spas in the area.
In addition to the beautifying qualities of the Dead Sea, it is also a focal point of health treatment and research. The sea has healing qualities thanks to the high content of minerals and salts in the waters. Many people come to the area whilst on Sharm el Sheikh holidays to take advantage of the health benefits. This has been a great place to treat respiratory illnesses including cystic fibrosis, thanks to the high atmospheric pressure at this depth. For those suffering from psoriasis, the low ultra violet light levels mean that they can sunbathe around here, without getting burnt by the sun.
Make sure to visit the famous hot springs at Ein Gedi. This type of hot spring, with a constant temperature of 38C can only be found in Israel. They also have a very high concentration of bromine, which helps to reduce blood pressure. There is also very high salt levels around here, which have excellent detoxifying qualities. Be sure to get a massage around here for a unique experience.
