Finish the day with a nice dip in the lowest point on earth -a sea full of minerals guarantees you will feel 20 years younger.
Do not forget to bring a newspaper for the perfect photo - reading and chilling while floating over the water...

Do not head dive...
If you do - do not rub your eyes and wash them with the sea water
Why is it called the Dead Sea? Do not mess with the deadly sharks ;)
