Advantages: Sitt and chill out Disadvantages: Dont get water in your eyes it hurts
I visited the dead sea about 10 years ago now and still remember it very well. We visited for an afternoon on a trip from Jerusalem.

There are interesting sites to see, such as Masada and Qumran (where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.) Sunbathing is fun, with huge free parasols at Ein Gedi. But don’t try to drink the ...

Pampering and home spa treatments are, for me, some of the most pleasurable and enjoyful aspects of being a woman. Of course men can also indulge themselves in this way, though when I try and involve my husband in this kind of thing he shrugs me off and... more
