When I went to the Dead Sea there were a million signs everywhere saying not to swim on your front, not to splash, not to go underwater, not to put your face in the water or swallow any water. Even one drop on your lips is SO salty, like you've never tasted before. The Dead Sea is not a family seaside resort where kids are running into the water and leaping around in it - if you go there, enjoy but be careful.
I stayed in jordan for about 4years. All the time i went to dead sea is at night. Yes, you cant sink but the salt in water is so high you cant open your eyes even when a drop get into it. As a first timer it is difficult to maneuver in the water as you cant sink but you also cannot float unless you are on your back. Urgh, ive learned by lesson the hard way. Have to be fished out from the water and cried all the way home because i thought i was going blind.
I’ve been there. You cannot sink. The water feels amazing on your skin unless you have cuts. They tell you ahead of times not to consume the water or get it in your eyes. You also have to rinse off after.
Favorite place to go as a child. Everything they say is true. It takes some getting used to being a human cork. They failed to mention that currents can take you miles down the shore without you even noticing. Or, on a windy day, even blow you across to the other side of the sea, which happens to be another country. No joke!
My mums friend almost drowned there many years ago... she was on her front and panicked when she tried to roll over. The life guards that were there did an amazing job!!!!!!!
The Dead Sea was definitely on my bucket list. It was a great experience. So relaxing to be nearly weightless on the water. You lick your lips once automatically but after that no, bc the water tastes horrible. They tell you to go right to first aid if you accidentally gulp any down.
Being that my torso is not naturally buoyant,it was an amazing feeling that for once it was. The mud bath and exfoliating was amazing afterwards. Slept very well that night.
I was there years ago on a tour and the guide warned us several times to not get the water in our eyes, not to put our head under water and to only stay in the water ten minutes and shower immediately after you get out...
There are water spray stations near the waters edge. If you get salt in your eyes you can call out and someone in the tour group will guide you to rinse your eyes.
I've been there it's beautiful and it's also great for arthritis and for the skin because of the minerals it contains it great for relaxing it's not meant for swimming it's more like thermal water.
The problem l have with these areas are the fact that people who have sicknesses and illnesses are likely to go there to remove their impurities etc plus the fact that not everyone is hygienic. The water is stagnant and can have a smell like sulphur. This makes it almost repulsive for me to attend.
It is in comparison to fresh water or the natural sea water and why there is no aquatic life plus the mud and salt that makes the water very much thicker.
What? The water is disinfecting... And it moves and flows... One of the cleanest places on earth... I've been there many time so I'm talking from experience... (It does smell tho, that part is true.)
You'll need a new bar of soap for every time you go in the water. You'll be dry and itchy. Washing the minerals off breaks down the soap so by the time you've gotten done the soap will be disintegrated. Great amounts of lotion are also required. Greetings from Dayan, Ramat-hashofet 1977.
The minerals must cause a great increase in water temperature. You would expect that to happen only in shallow water, which the Dead Sea is not. When I went to the Gulf of Mexico at Sarasota years ago in shallow water, the water temperature was only 87 degrees.
You might be one of the top elite Navy Seal or Marines...or Gurkha that able to survive in extreem environment and temperature...40 years ago !! But when you are aging...your nerve system...and Motoric respond is no longer active...so you better behave and realize when you swiming in the Dead Sea...even in your own bath up !! Just swim near by the beach ...ths Shallow side ...easy to be seen ...if something happen with you !!
I visited Israel before and got in the dead sea I couldnt believe my body wasnt sinking, but I felt uncomfortable because the salt burns your private areas the first time youre in it.
While we watch elderly bathers flipping over. He’s talking about drunk people and those sensitive to salt. If you have to watch your salt intake by mouth you have to do the same with bathing.
No sunburn though, so that is a bonus. We went to the Dead Sea in late October. The temperatures were in the 80s. The water was probably in the 80s as well. The dead sea is 1300 ft below sea level. The atmosphere is dense and creates a barrier to the UV rays, so it is much harder to get a sunburn there. If you go up in elevation the UV rays gets stronger, so don't count on the atmosphere to protect you if you head upwards away from the dead sea.
@@TexasbyStorm - I would love to see that part of the world. I’ve traveled a great deal, Europe mostly, but never got to the Middle East, Far East, Africa or Australia. They’re on my bucket list though. I had my worst sunburn in Italy. Just got careless taking in all the sites and forgot sunscreen. Got back from Mexico two weeks ago, nice, pretty, but got a touch of stomach trouble.
Its very weird experience its not only very salty but it almost feel like you step into oil. And turning over requires very good control of your body. Most of the time when I would float I tried to hold on the building that was there for shade. And omg I had a scraped knee. Ohhhh the pain was insane, but it healed super fast after 😁 so I guess a plus there

Lucky me, i did not know about this when I was working in Haifa Israël, so we went swimming in the dead sea at a deserted old area, with salt beaches, just parked the car on the salt beach could not walk without shoes, sample ... on this video the sand you see surly is placed by tourist traps ... anything to make more money ... milking the cow, every religious building or site there is a entry or parking fee, it never ends .... PS love Israel, had the best time of my life there ... If you have the opertunity please go, i was in Haifa 1 year and 4 months on rotation building the port, glorious
I beg to differ on the comment made here "You can not drown in the Dead Sea" I almost did and but for my life saver Jill McCormick, I would not be here to make this statement. Looking at this clip shows a huge improvement when we went John. Remember those baths before going into the Dead Sea?
Public service message to the entire world: Ask more questions before you do things you are not familiar with. I recommend honest experienced people much more than just watching the news by the way.
Hahaha...it WOULD have been something if they could have WALKED on the water....but then I suppose some people would have taken offence and petitioned to have the Dead Sea cordoned off on the grounds that only ONE is allowed to walk on water.....
Went to the dead sea .... put loads of dead sea mud and stayed in a safe place .... I can't swim and no one could convince me that one cant drown there. ..I was the biggest joke ever and still am.
If you have the smallest smallest wound on your skin it will burn terribly!!!! I have experienced it, everytime I go into that sea! And it is very warm water, you won't feel cooled off as you usually feel when you take a dip on a hot day. Imagine it beeing a too hot sweatty day and you lay down in a bathtube with warm water..all you want is to turn on cold water!
I don't handle heat well dispite living in a desert. However if I had an umbrella and went at sunrise I'd like to put my feet in (if the water temp dips dramatically through the night) If the water temp IS cooler at sunrise time then up to my knees would do. I can float in 2 feet of water for the experience of extra floating.😄 For the experience. (Yes, I am a strong swimmer)
I slept right at the shore on salt glazed pebbles. I stuck my feet in. That was as far down as I would ever go, wouldn't swim in that in a million years.
Why do people think it's good for the skin? It's salty water and sun exposure. Neither is good for the skin. I'm a beach person and I love unique places so I'm not against people enjoying some sun but I'm don't buy the health benefits part.
It's the lowest spot on earth. The atmosphere is dense and filters out most of the damaging rays. And the minerals in the water are beneficial to the skin. People go there from all over the world to treat skin conditions, like psoriasis.
@@Gideon01 I'm not convinced though. It's not a bad area to vacation and relaxation is really good for you. I see it as how people used to go to hot springs for those same reasons but it was proven a long time ago to not be very effective.

@@sandramungwari6477 I know thats what they say, I just can't find any evidence of it. I should also mention that I grew up in Israel. Yes they go there to for but few actually believed it had health benefits.
I almost drowned in the Dead Sea when I was 12 years old; the water came into my eyes and mouth and I panicked when I tried to stand up not feeling the ground. Thanks to my uncle he pulled me out. 2 years before that time, I drowned in a natural pool, not a man-made, located between Israel and Jordan. They pulled me out unconscious. I am 54 now and scared to learn to swim.
I floated on my back and smoked a cigar while in the Dead Sea. It was pretty dope. I'm no Scientist but even I knew not to go underneath. I tasted the water and it really was bitter. I have a bottle of it for a momento ^.^
In our religion it's said that Before there used to be a city with good citizens until they all Betrayed there religion and They said mean things about our God and then Our God turned the city over and all the citizen and the city remains below..
Yes, it is really dangerous. I saw my friend who couldnt swim, got panicked to get the move around, swallowed the salty water, got chocked...fortunately we managed to bring her out of the water, asked her to drink n rinse the throat...now i see this, i am grateful, she could have been dead...fiuhh
i fell over with my face in the Dead Sea 4 days ago accidentaly....went out drunk water....after 24 hours i started having diarrhea, vomiting but it stopped...then next day had fever and now just some pain in the stomach and still can't eat well. Could it be from this or did i just had a heat stroke?
YOU CAN DROWN in the Dead Sea. I can vouch for this personally....If you end up as I did like a cork floating then a small wave created by others close by tipped me over so I was upside down, head well under water. Tried for what felt like many, many minutes to right myself with my hands paddling to right me the right way up, but failed every time. As stated previously, It was Jill McCormick that righted me the right way up having my wife and Jills husband John laughing thinking I was playing the fool. Thanks Jill for seeing it as it was. Almost DROWNING in the Dead Sea.

Well it is the location of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Swim around sunrise or close to sunset when it's cooler.
Just tell the people before you let them go in the water. A warning poster, a warning memo or something. Education is important
there are signs posted everywhere around there. It usually helps a lot
How about calling it something that gives you the sense of danger.
Maybe ,

Dead Sea Life Guard sounds cool
A place to find all the little cuts you got when gardening earlier in the morning......
This is not a Dead Sea it’s bed sea 🤘🏻
113° cool day for South Texas
I floated on my back and smoked a cigar while in the Dead Sea. It was pretty dope. I'm no Scientist but even I knew not to go underneath. I tasted the water and it really was bitter. I have a bottle of it for a momento ^.^
P.S. There should be instructions by life guards before entering water directly to the public.
I was there in 2014..so cool..so nice to float in a Holy Land😁
Free Palestine
I love to float on water!!!
I had so much fun there in 2017.
Gr8 place
In other words, when you’re in water, don’t breathe in the water.
Humans are interesting creatures
It’s called the Dead Sea because the city of sodoom is underneath .
Yup
I never knew that
Oh wow...I never knew that
@nadhi!!! I think you’re right!!!
It's called the Dead Sea because there is very little to no animals. They cannot survive since the salinity is too high.
In our religion it's said that Before there used to be a city with good citizens until they all Betrayed there religion and They said mean things about our God and then Our God turned the city over and all the citizen and the city remains below..
Sodom and Gomorrah!!!
I had not heard that before. Thankyou.
They don't call it the Dead Sea for no reason!
Yes, it is really dangerous. I saw my friend who couldnt swim, got panicked to get the move around, swallowed the salty water, got chocked...fortunately we managed to bring her out of the water, asked her to drink n rinse the throat...now i see this, i am grateful, she could have been dead...fiuhh
i fell over with my face in the Dead Sea 4 days ago accidentaly....went out drunk water....after 24 hours i started having diarrhea, vomiting but it stopped...then next day had fever and now just some pain in the stomach and still can't eat well. Could it be from this or did i just had a heat stroke?
YOU CAN DROWN in the Dead Sea. I can vouch for this personally....If you end up as I did like a cork floating then a small wave created by others close by tipped me over so I was upside down, head well under water. Tried for what felt like many, many minutes to right myself with my hands paddling to right me the right way up, but failed every time. As stated previously, It was Jill McCormick that righted me the right way up having my wife and Jills husband John laughing thinking I was playing the fool. Thanks Jill for seeing it as it was. Almost DROWNING in the Dead Sea.
The man reading a newspaper while swimming is he Chandler???? From F. R. I. E. N. D. S
Wth are they doing? That’s toxic! Who gets into a primordial soup like that? Not I!
It’s for bathing not for exercising. The mineral content is healing to the skin.
Ive heard its healing to
Are you kidding? Its so saline that nothing can survive in it, even viruses and bacteria.
@@jilllangman9343 ... well ya said a mouthful there! I’m convinced. I’m not going anywhere near it!🤨✌🏼
I'm so buoyant I sta floating everywhere..so all water is like the dead sea to me. I think I'll skip the heavy salt load.
thanx!!!!
Nice. I want to go there
Dead sea has quicksand in certain spots it call dead sea for a reason quicksand make gravity heavy in certain. Location it could suck you in
Despite people being warned same old story 🙄
You can float anywhere that ain't the only water I float my swimming pool
I would like to go there to.
