Will I really float without effort?

Yes. The Dead Sea's salt concentration (approximately 34% salinity) is so high that your body naturally floats, even if you're not a swimmer. Most visitors find it effortless and buoyant.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The price includes private transport, hotel pick-up/drop-off, and access to a 4-star resort beach with swimming facilities and free time. Spa treatments (mud wraps, massages, body scrubs) are optional and charged separately. A 5-star hotel upgrade is also available at additional cost.

How long do I actually have to float and swim?

The tour is 5 hours total, including travel. You'll have ample free time at the resort to swim, float, and relax; exact duration depends on drive times and your preferred pace.

Is the Dead Sea mud safe, and what are its benefits?

Yes, the mineral-rich mud is a natural product used for centuries and is safe for most skin types. It's believed to help exfoliate, hydrate, and soothe the skin. Rinse thoroughly after application to remove salt residue.

What should I bring, and what shouldn't I take into the water?

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. Avoid bringing valuable items into the water; use the resort's facilities to store belongings. The salt can damage electronics and jewelry.

Can I do this tour if I'm not a strong swimmer?

Yes. The Dead Sea's extreme buoyancy supports all body types, and you'll float with minimal effort regardless of swimming ability. However, inform your driver of any water anxiety so they can assist you.

our guide Kemal was nice enough, but a stop the guide added on the fly felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, ran the full 4 hours promised.
