Ein Bokek

Perhaps most importantly, what can we say about the resort town of Ein Bokek - that it is located on the shores of the Dead Sea. There are all conditions for a quiet, peaceful rest and treatment.
The Dead Sea is a unique place on earth, which for many centuries, is known for its healing properties. Firstly, it is the lowest point of the reservoir on the planet - the level of the reservoir below the sea level at four hundred meters. In fact, this lake, it is divided into two parts of the peninsula. Since the Dead Sea is so low here the most "fat" layer of air around the world, and besides, most dense ozone layer. Therefore, sunbathe on the shore of the Dead Sea is not only safe but also very useful - and it is difficult to get burnt.
Secondly, the lake water has a unique mineral composition. Almost half of it consists of various salts - so about the Dead Sea, saying that there is in principle impossible to sink. You can just go into the water and lie on the surface as the float, and when this happens recovery of the body, cleansing the skin.
The city is only hotels and health centers. Nothing prevents the quiet rest and recovery. In treatment centers can visit the massages, baths, facials, sulfur baths and mud baths. Taking sulfur baths and a little "dirty" in the mud are possible, and right on the beach.
But for active recreation in Ein Bokek, you can still find fun: excursions to nature reserves, climbing mountains, riding a camel or jeep through the desert.
The nature of this area is also unique - a desert with oases (where the city is located), the mountains, and in the middle of this - the Dead Sea. The whole district is the area through environmental clean beaches and sparsely populated towns-resorts, like the Ein Bokek and clean air. At the Dead Sea can be seen a unique phenomenon - the chunks of salt can just float on the surface of the water like icebergs in the Arctic Ocean. Here you can see a pillar of salt, which resembles the biblical story of Lot's wife, which turned into a pillar of salt. Benefits of leisure in this quiet and pleasant town - the rarest landscapes, unique natural clinic and just being able to devote time to health - both physical and mental.
