The Dead Sea ( 'Yam Hamelach' - 'The Salty Sea')


The ultimate recreation and health spot. It has it all: desert -like climate, mineral-rich sea and mud, hot springs, fine beaches, luxurious hotels and spas. In recent years it has lost some of its natural charm due to reduced inflow of water, massive extraction of minerals from the sea by a chemical company ( "The Dead Sea Works"), increasing number of hotels , therapeutic facilities and visitors .
Yet it's still one of the greatest places on earth.

The water of the sea has unique properties


sulphur pool


Even in a salty place it's possible to grow things

Colors of water & sky change according to daytime


'Zel Harim' Hotel with all rooms at ground level


I'm 'Mad' about the Dead..Sea

The lowest point on Earth
The Dead Sea area 'gave birth'
To a unique , hypnotizing spot
Which is one big health resort

The sea is both oily and salty
People are engaged in floating
Bromine in the air and water
Make body relaxed and calmer

Sunny skies, dry, pure air
Colors of 'Moav' mountain chain
Nature is all Silence and Beauty
Providing health and serenity

People from all over the world
Come to the Dead Sea pearl
For its climate, mud, minerals
To cure their various illnesses

ים המוות הנותן חיים

ים המלח, ים הדממה
מוקף באדמה צחיחה
מימיו המלוחים, שומניים
עשירים במינרלים מיטיבי חיים

מכל הארץ ומרחבי העולם
אנשים באים לכאן
למצוא במימיו הכחולים
שלווה ומזור למכאובים

תמיד אהבתי ואוהב
את ים המלח והרי מואב
את האויר, המים והחול
את ערד העיר, המלונות..הברום

ים המלח, ים הדממה
ים של רוגע ושלווה
המקום הנמוך בעולם
הכל בו הוד, וטוב טעם
