The Dead Sea, renowned for its hypersaline water that allows effortless floating, is a major tourist draw in Israel. Accessibility is generally good at designated beach areas, with facilities catering to visitors. Both solo and guided visits are common; solo travelers can easily enjoy the unique floating experience, while guided tours often provide historical and geological context. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) to avoid extreme temperatures. A typical visit lasts a few hours to a full day, with costs varying depending on transportation, beach access fees, and spa treatments. Be aware of potential skin sensitivities due to the high salt content and avoid getting water in your eyes. It is recommended to bring water shoes to protect your feet from the salt crystals. Many resorts and spas offer Dead Sea mud treatments for therapeutic benefits.
