A salt scrub anyone? Dead Sea Salt.
We took a couple of days off from Religious site seeing and hit the Dead Sea this time on the Israeli side for a little R and R. We spent a couple of nights at a fancy hotel using the amenities of numerous pools, both fresh water and Dead Sea Water. The hotel had an accessible beach with nice lounge chairs.The whole place was accessible. I couldn't help but think of the people with their walkers and wheelchairs that they were here in the hopes that the healing properties of the Dead Sea would give them some relief. It was great to float in. In the deep water I was able to stand up as if I was on a platform and have my upper body remain out of the water because it is so dense with salt. There was no way to sink, it wouldn't let you. If you had any cuts or skin irritations look out you sure new it as soon at that part of your flesh hit the water.
