Dead Sea
The Dead Sea lies at the lowest point on Earth, around 430 meters below sea level, and features water with nearly ten times the salinity of the ocean. That level of salinity makes floating on its surface effortless. Visitors can lie back without effort, with views opening across barren hills and reflective water. This shoreline also hosts a mix of minerals collected over millennia and known for their soothing effect on skin and joints.
Jerusalem
This beautiful holy city is a spiritual lightning rod and sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians all over the world. Although Jerusalem is known primarily for its religious history, the city is also home to many artistic and cultural venues.
