The Dead Sea

Dead Sea is one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the world. Its rich of natural salts accumulated throughout millions of years and surrounded by a landscape and arid hills descending 400 meters below sea level.

According to our tour guide Alfred, Dead Sea’s water contains more than 35 different types of minerals that are essential for the health and care of the body skin. They are well known for relieving pains and sufferings while nourishing and softening the skin.

Sounds like “The Fountain of Youth”, the perfect story to make women part with their money and clothes.

The salty airs is the natural filter for sunrays reducing chances of skin cancer and overcook skin. The mineral-rich black mud is the most popular among the women, the moment they saw those FREE black mud on the sea side. They start running towards the mud while taking of their clothes like some porn movies.

All the girls are extremely pleased, so happy that everyone spends a fortune for the renowned Jordanian Dead Sea bath salts and cosmetic products. But the biggest spender came out to be a MAN, Roy!!! He wanna exclude Dead Sea the trip but got strong opposition from the 7ladies. Now he buy the most pulak!
The Dead Sea is devoid of life due to an extremely high content of salts and minerals which give its waters the renowned curing powers and beautification qualities. The salt content is nine times that of the worlds’ oceans; you can float in the Dead Sea without even trying, which makes swimming here a truly unique.

Although Dead Sea is located within a Red Alert Zone but there are many luxury seaside facilities. I stayed at the 5stars JW Marriott which located just beside the water and you only need a hand held rocket launcher from Jerusalem to blow up the hotel.

Jerusalem and Bethlehem are visible from the Jordan side of the Dead Sea but it’s not advisable to swim across the Sea. You might be able to dodge the rockets, bullets or even nuclear bomb but natural saltiness of the water can turn you into “Salt Fish” (Ham Yue) by the time you reach the other side.
