what to do ? Dead Sea area is indeed a must for every tourist visiting Israel and a unique experience. First of all The Dead Sea itself is a miracle. It looks like a sea but it feels like oil and you can float on it easily. Just don't splash any of this in your eyes or you will be sore and sorry. Try to read a newspaper floating in the Sea or else it doesn't count you have been in Israel :-) and than you must climb to the Massada preferably in the late hours of the night so you can reach the peak at Sunrise. You can climb it by foot by the Solela path and than descend with the new and comfortable cable car. For Information you may call: Tel: 972 8 6584207 When you descend from Massada you can walk around it between the Havarim which are white hills made of sand. Not far from Massada you can visit Ein Gedi which is a beautiful Oasis in the desert and you can make a trek to Nahal David and Nahal Arugot - Where to sleep ? There is a wide range of accommodations offers in the area, hotels, hostels and youth hostels see related sites. weekend zimmers I want to recommend the Ein Gedi Guest House where I have been this weekend (August 2006) and enjoyed very much. It is nice and friendly accommodation located in the Kibbutz Ein Gedi. The rooms are spread around on the kibbutz beautiful grounds that are cultivated as a botanic garden and it is lovely to walk around and sea various species of trees. The breakfast and dinner were also very good. Kfar Hanokdim is a unique accommodation village in the desert that is ideal for trips in the desert and for getting acquainted to the real Bedouin life style Another interesting place to visit or stay a few days is Zman Midbar which is an ecologic and holistic place built for peace and spiritual gathering |
