Dead Sea Experience

Our ETS Tour included a stop at Neve Midbar Beach so that we group could have a Dead Sea experience. The site has facilities that include showers, bathrooms, and a beach bar serving drinks/snacks, as well as shops. Most importantly it has an accessible entrance to the sea and natural mud. There are lots of slippery steps to get down to the beach. Entering the water means tiptoeing over rocks and sliding in squishy mud, just take your time and be careful not to fall. Water shoes might be helpful. Heed the signs of dos and don’ts; especially don’t put your head under and don’t swallow the water! There are plenty of chairs available if you’d rather just people-watch. I don’t have any other Dead Sea beaches to compare this one too, and it did serve the purpose, but if I had a choice, I’d do my homework before settling here. At any rate, don’t miss the opportunity to float in the Dead Sea!

    Beach at the northern end of the Dead Sea
    This is one of the three beaches, all run by Palestinians, which are open to the public. Since we were travelling with a guide, we did not have to pay the excessive entrance fees. However, we were expected to shop in the boutique. There is a changing room and showers, which do not seem to be very clean and neat. There is also a bar on the way to the beach. This is located about 100 meters away from the buildings. Swimming in the Dead Sea is a great pleasure. For those who believe in the healing properties of mud, there are plenty of them. On the beach itself you can also spray the salt or mud. But the shower afterwards is irreplaceable. According to our guide, Neve Midbar Beach is the best option at the northern end of the Dead Sea. But the restoration of the beach is necessary in two ways.

    Food Rip Off
    Ended up for lunch at Neve Midbar as part of RSD Trip. The cost was 65 Shekels each for 7 pieces of stew and 1 Chicken Nugget with salad accompliment.Other choices lwere very limited-Falafel,etc The rice was cold so was potentially dangerous. Drinks were extra. You are obviously paying for the location. There must be better quality locations. I have paid more this holiday at other lunch stops,but the quality was much better. I would NOT come back.
