Tips for visiting the Dead Sea
Israel is one of the coolest countries I’ve ever traveled to in part because of the Dead Sea. It’s the only place of its kind that sits 1,400 feet below sea level, where the air is rich in oxygen and the water is chock full of minerals that are not only beautifying but also healing.…
