.::: Third day in Israel - Dead sea :::.

Today is my last day in Israel and today I am going to the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, spectacular creating of the nature.


The Dead Sea, which is 80 kilometers long and 17 wide, lies in the deepest pit of the tectonic crust, about 395 meters below the sea level and is surrounded by a very arid landscape. In the north where the Jordan is lost in its sands, moisture allows the growth of sparse vegetation on the south, the salinity of the water higher, creates spectacular crystalline concretions along shoreline. Thanks to (grâce à) the special climatic and atomosphere of this region, major resorts there are developed.
Buried in a large fault era when the continent broke away from the base including Turkey and the Middle East, the Dead Sea is never covered by moist winds that make the region so fertile in the West of Jerusalem. Ten times saltier than any other sea, and so dense that it is virtually impossible to sink, is actually a still and silent lake, fed by the Jordan. In its waters, the concentration of sodium chloride and many other minerals is very high and people must bathe then rinse quickly with fresh water. It is however the presence of these elements that gives the water of the Dead Sea important therapeutic properties used in various spas to treat skin diseases and respiratory tract.

Then, I managed to distinguish the arid rocky desert surrounding the Dead Sea.


Then, I am going to swim in the oasis of Ein Gedi. Its freshwater springs and lush, is a paradise in the arid unforgiving of the Dead Sea.


Finally, to complete my trip in Israel, I am going to Boqeq, one of the resorts most frequented of the Dead Sea, we trovue beautiful beach resorts and spa facilities very modern take advantage of the wealth of water salt minerals.


My trip is over, thank you and follow you soon !
