About Dead Sea

The Dead Sea lies about 40 km from Jerusalem — roughly an hour's drive down through the Judean desert. Its extreme salinity makes every visitor float without effort, and the mineral-rich mud is famous worldwide. A day trip by private taxi is the easiest way to go: we drive you down in the morning, wait while you swim, and bring you back to Jerusalem the same day. On the way you can stop at the Ein Gedi oasis or continue on to Masada.

What to See & Do

1Floating in the Dead Sea

The salt concentration is so high that you float with zero effort. Bring water shoes and rinse off with fresh water afterwards.

2Dead Sea resort beaches

The resort beaches at Ein Bokek offer showers, shade and easy access to the water, with hotels and spas along the shore.

3Ein Gedi oasis

Israel's largest oasis, a short drive north of the Dead Sea hotels — waterfalls, ibex and shaded hiking trails.

4Sunset over the Judean mountains

The evening light on the salt cliffs is unforgettable, and the drive back up to Jerusalem is beautiful.
