Fact The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is the largest natural spa on the planet. Local treatments are said to be effective against rheumatism, asthma, cystic fibrosis, psoriasis, dermatitis and diseases of the heart, eyes and lungs.The Dead Sea enjoys 330 days of sunshine a year. It is the only place in the world where you can sunbathe successfully without getting burnt. The air above the sea contains three extra layers which prevent the harmful ultraviolet rays reaching the surface.

If a man cast iron therein, it will float above. And if men cast a feather therein, it will sink to the bottom, and these things be against kind. SIR JOHN MANDEVILLE Travels (1356)
