A world of renewal awaits you at the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea!

It might be called the Dead Sea, but the world's largest health spa is full of mud enriched with vitamins and minerals and a climate perfect for restoring health and revitalizing your skin!
 
The Dead Sea is anything but dead! It is alive with mineral-rich mud and salt that provide optimal conditions for medical tourism. It is the lowest place in the world, and its unique climate makes it the ideal environment for those with respiratory difficulties. It is an area shrouded in biblical history, where the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, leaving behind a Sulpher-filled wasteland. As centuries of nature took hold, the results are there to see and experience today. Tourists come to float in the sea and cover themselves in the mineral-rich black mud. Once they remove the mud, their skin feels smooth and revitalized like never before!

How did the Dead Sea come to be? The Bible has the answer!

Have you ever wondered how the Dead Sea got its name? The area of the Dead Sea was once a lush, fertile land. In the Bible, this region was home to the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The inhabitants of both cities were inherently wicked, and it was where Lot resided after separating from his Uncle, our forefather Abraham. When God informed Abraham that the city would be destroyed, two of the angels who were sent to destroy the cities rescued Lot and his family. As they fled the angels warned them against turning around and witnessing the destruction of the cities. Lot's wife ignored and looked back, the result was that she became a pillar of salt.
Left behind was a trail of destruction, the area now a barren wilderness, and eventually, the Dead Sea would be formed, filled with salt and asphalt. It is an area inhospitable to animal and plant life, which is one of the reasons for its name, the Dead Sea! This area, along with the mountains and numerous caves, would provide refuge for both King David and King Herod. The peak of Masada was where the last bastion of Jewish rebels held out during their revolt against the Roman Empire. The area is filled with history, and there have been some fascinating archeological discoveries, among them the Dead Sea scrolls, found in a cave in Qumran, which you can view at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and most recently, four iron swords dated to the time of the revolt!

The Dead Sea is a region full of Biblical history and provides so much benefit to the people. What is fascinating is that it was once one of the most fertile regions in the land, filled with greenery and vegetation, and today, it is very much a hostile environment and not conducive to agriculture or life. And yet, from all of this, the results of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the undisturbed length of time where nature ran its course led to the creation of a place where millions of people can visit for healing and relaxation!
