Situated with Jordan to the east and the West Bank to the west, the Dead Sea is unlike anywhere else on Earth. Millions of visitors flock to these shores every year to experience this unique and beautiful environment. For any couple who are visiting the area for their honeymoon, the Dead Sea is an essential addition to your itinerary.
Its High Salt Content
High salt content isn’t something we often associate with romance, but it is the salt content of the dead sea that is responsible for its remarkable properties. This body of water, technically a lake rather than a sea, is known for its hyper-salinity. The salt content of the dead sea is so great that it dramatically increases the buoyancy of people who swim – or float – in it as swimming is next to impossible.
The Mud is Good for Your Skin
So that’s salt and mud so far, not the most romantic combination. But if either you or your partner enjoys the occasional skin treatment at the spa, you will appreciate the mud on offer at the Dead Sea. It’s loaded with magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium, so much so that it might even be better than what you’d find at the spa.
Local Hotels
The beautiful landscape and features of the Dead Sea are well worth a visit. But even better than spending a day there is booking a room in one of the many Dead Sea hotels located near to the Dead Sea itself. Booking a hotel near to the Dead Sea won’t just give you access to the Dead Sea, the surrounding area also has plenty to see and do, and you will be perfectly situated to appreciate all the region has to offer.
Rich in History
The Dead Sea is famous for being rich in salt, but the area is just as notable for the richness of its history. Both Jordan and Israel are areas that have been settled by humans since ancient times, and of course, both regions are biblically significant. If either you or your partner appreciate sites of historical interest, the Dead Sea is an essential addition to your bucket list.
The Ultimate Relaxation Experience
If there’s one thing you and your partner will want to do on your honeymoon (other than the obvious), it is to relax. We’ve all experienced the joy of sunbathing on a sunny beach and floating across the calm ocean waves. But the Dead Sea offers something even better. With that extra buoyancy, you and your partner can hold hands, lie back and float across the surface together like a pair of otters.
Owing to the high salinity of the lake, not only is buoyancy increased, but the amount of marine wildlife is significantly decreased. In fact, the conditions in the Dead Sea are completely inhospitable to life. This means you don’t have to worry about any slimy surprises from the water’s depth.
For honeymooning couples looking for something a little different, a little more memorable, the Dead Sea is the perfect choice. In addition to the breathtaking scenery and the novelty of the lake itself, there is a wealth of history and culture to imbibe.
Love traveling.
