Dead Sea Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
😍 FLOATING time at DEAD SEA 🌊
#beachaholic
Most famous beach in the world - Dead Sea 🌊!
The Dead Sea, a natural wonder, offers an unparalleled beach experience. Nestled between Jordan and Israel, its beaches are anything but ordinary. The water is so densely saturated with salt and minerals that you can effortlessly float on the surface. These minerals, believed to have therapeutic properties, also transform the shore into a natural spa retreat. Slathering yourself with the thick, mineral-rich mud and then rinsing in the calm sea is indeed an experience of a lifetime. Beyond the beach, the extraordinary landscape, dominated by hilly terrains and stark desert beauty, unfolds. The Dead Sea, with its unique aquatic environment and captivating surroundings, provides an enchanting escape unlike any other beach destination.

📍Dead Sea, Israel 🇮🇱
Some tips for having a pleasant Dead Sea experience: DO NOT put your head under water and wear some sort of protection on your feet.
Jordan
Jordan, officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a country located in the West Asia region, bordering Syria, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. The capital of the country is Amman, and the largest city is Aqaba.
Jordan is a dry country surrounded by hills and mountains in the Levant region. In addition, Jordan has many famous attractions such as the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Valley mentioned in the Old Testament, and the tourist destination of Oman. These attractions make Jordan a popular tourist destination.
Jordan is a traditionally monarchic country, and King Abdullah II is the monarch. The official language of the country is Arabic, and the majority of the population practices Islam. Jordan's economy is mainly based on tourism, chemical industry, agriculture, and mineral extraction, and the country is also a commercial center in the Middle East.
In terms of politics, Jordan has always been one of the relatively stable countries in the Middle East, and it has a place in Middle Eastern and international affairs. As a country that follows Islamic law, Jordan has a deep understanding and appreciation of Islamic culture and traditions, and also supports and promotes the harmonious development of Islam.
My itinerary started from Dubai to Amman, Jordan. The next day, I went to Jerash, which can be reached by charter or by taking a minibus from the North Station. Jerash has preserved a large number of ancient Roman ruins, and the rise and fall of ancient Rome can be seen in the ruins. After returning from Jerash, I visited the ancient Roman theater and Citadel Hill in Amman. The next day, I went to Petra and chatted with a Dutch guy on the way. Petra is a very large ancient city, and it can be tiring to walk around, but overall it was manageable. Continuing down from Petra, I arrived at Wadi Rum, which is famous for its red desert and is the most Mars-like place on this planet. I stayed in the desert for one night and saw the starry sky that I hadn't seen in a long time. The local Bedouin people were very hospitable, and there were people from all over the world in the tents.
Continuing down from Petra, you will arrive at Aqaba, the only port city in Jordan, a small town different from other cities in Amman. Finally, I went to the Dead Sea to experience floating. If you have wounds on your body, you will float especially easily.

At the southern end of the Israeli map, there is a sharp corner connected to the sea, close to the famous Red Sea! Together with the flowers, go to the "Sanya" of the Israelites - Eilat Eilat!
Jerusalem-Eilat-Tel Aviv's bus ticket is about 75 ILS, and the two-way ticket is far more cost-effective than a one-way ticket! There is also a free WI-FI free to use in the car!
Eilat in December, the temperature is about 23 degrees, a long skirt with a thin coat is enough, not cold or hot, so we immediately opened the holiday from 10 degrees Jerusalem. mode.
Israels most shocking is definitely price. To eat in the restaurant, a slightly decent person needs about 200 RMB. Sincerely suggest: If you can, cook for yourself.
Eilat is a seaside town that can be walked for 1 hour. Close to the beach there are public beaches, free showers, shopping malls, supermarkets and restaurants, and even a motorized playground! The small city built on the hillside is high and low, the house is not high, and the thick is a casual atmosphere.
The city free WI-FI can be seen everywhere, it is easy to connect, the network speed is ok. Public transportation is underdeveloped, basically relying on taxis and walking. However, the city is not big, the basic living circle is 1-3 kilometers, so the fare is not expensive. The preferred walk is really not moving, the hand is stopped, and the meter is charged.
Israel is a well-deserved cat country! Cat slave heaven! Everywhere is the owner who eats the glutinous rice dumplings~ very afraid of people, because they are BOSS!
Eilat is Israel's most classic local resort, so the basic price of accommodation is not low. In addition to the hotel, it is recommended to stay in a bed and breakfast with a kitchen, no more than 15 minutes walk from the beach. The flower selection this time is about 520 yuan / night, which is considered a mid-range price accommodation.
Eilat's dive centres are mostly in single-family homes offering accommodation, classes, dining and diving packages. The room in the diving center has a strong holiday and is bright and comfortable. You know, this is the first holiday city in Israel with a very developed economy! There is also an open kitchen! The
"Ahla Dive" dive center is run by Sasha, a young software engineer from Russia. He has a technology and he is suddenly "seeing the red dust" in Israel, and he hopes to pursue the free life he wants. So he invited his respected coach, Joshua, the Israeli god who has been practicing for more than 20 years, to coach, here is the star dive shop of Eilat.
Price, basically 150ILS a dive, including a full set of equipment (some packages do not include some computer tables), you can first look at the price list on the official website of the dive shop, you can also send an English mail consultation.
In Eilat, because the ship will go out for a while to get to the border between Jordan and Egypt. There are usually no dive boats in the Gulf of Aqaba. Therefore, the way the diver touches the sea is mainly the shore dive, which requires physical strength!
The visibility of the Red Sea is extremely high, and the blue water is a mess. The red sea in winter is still a bit cold, about 22 degrees water temperature, wearing a 5mm wet clothes without a hat, the coolness of the forehead is particularly clear.
One of the dive sites called University is very interesting. Because it is the largest coral reef in the northernmost part of the earth, it has also become a coral research institute. The research institute will set up some 24-hour cameras here to record in detail the growth of corals.

The Rose City of Petra ✨
Petra has also been referred to as the “Rose City” because of the colour of the stones used in its buildings. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985
I checked off my second Jordan bucket list here, which is to see The Treasury (Al-Khazneh). To get here, you first walk the 1.2km long Siq, a narrow gorge that serves as the entrance to Petra.
I recommend spending two days here because the place is massive and there is so much to see in Petra.
Top tip: take pictures on your way back from the trails around 5 pm when people start leaving.
Best months to visit April and September 😎

Petra-Jordan
Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.

Masada National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
💙🤍💙 Masada NP! Israeli Gem 💎😍
#summerbreak
Masada National Park! It's this epic spot in Israel that'll blow your mind, no doubt. Picture this: an ancient fortress perched on top of a freakin' mountain! The views from up there are absolutely insane, my friend. You can see the vast desert stretching out in all directions, with rugged cliffs and deep canyons. And the crazy part? This place has some serious historical significance. It's where a small group of rebels held out against a whole empire back in the day. Talk about intense! You can explore the ruins and check out the Roman Ruins. Masada National Park definitely felt like an adventure movie. If you are in Israel, don’t miss it! It is the second most popular tourist destination in the country!
The stunning fortress of Masada
Masada is a desert fortification that is steeped in history! It is built on an isolated rock plateau that overlooks the beautiful Dead sea where the eye can see as far as neighboring Jordan. Masada is one of Israel's most popular tourist attractions and it is easy to see why. In addition to the history, visitors will be amazed at the unique viewpoints from the top. #israel #masada
Masada is a steep natural fortress that stands majestically in the desert of Judea overlooking the Dead Sea. From the cable car at the foot of the mountain, the blue Dead Sea is more and more in front of you, and it is getting closer to the palace on the 300-meter peak. It is also a luxurious palace associated with Herod. Herod knew the strategic advantage of Masada, so she used Masada as a sanctuary for the invasion of the enemy to drink the winter palace. During his reign, he built luxury palaces, as well as storage-rich warehouses, reservoirs and turret walls. Until his death, the materials left over for many years have not been used up. Masada is a symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel. In 70 AD, the Romans occupied Jerusalem and killed the Jews. The surviving Jews carried their families and went to Masada. In the face of the fierce siege of the Romans, the people in Masada City collectively committed suicide. At the high temperature of
40 degrees, the tragic history of "Ning is a jade, not a complete" is astonishing in the throat. The old ruined wall is full of weeping atmosphere. Nowadays, we talk and laugh, and while cherishing the past, we use bread to feed the desert swallows - a loyal bird that follows the food.
Masada Castle, the site of the castle built on the hills of the desert more than 2,000 years ago, is one of the Jewish holy places. The natural advantage of easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that the Jews who stood here in the past successfully resisted the siege of Rome for three years, but unfortunately, the last sight of the city is hopeless, more than 900 military and civilians prefer to commit suicide and are not willing to be enslaved by the enemy, such a tragic history, Let Masada not only become a world cultural heritage, but also become a symbol of the Jewish national spirit. Today, "Masada Yong is no longer falling" has become an oath for Israeli soldiers when they join the army.
The road to the top of the mountain is extremely dangerous, and it is called the snake road. At present, there is a convenient cable car at the foot of the mountain. Of course, this is only for tourists. The Israeli natives can only walk up the mountain through the winding snake path to show their respect for the Masada spirit. At the top of the mountain, you can see the surrounding walls, the remaining fortifications, the ancient Roman baths, the synagogues, etc., overlooking the Dead Sea not far away.

En Gedi Nature Reserve Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Enjoying the wonder of the Ein Gedi oasis
#newyearadventure at the wonderful Ein Gedi oasis reserve! Highly suggest combining a visit to the Dead Sea with a stop at this oasis. It makes for an ideal refreshment out of the heat of the sun where you can enjoy the numerous waterfalls. Ein Gedi is also a great location to see the ibex, a native deer like animal. Entry fees for non Israeli adults start at 31 shekels.
Ein gedi reserve
Came here with a tour group and I would recommend doing that unless you're with locals. It was a beautiful spot and the water was a much needed reprieve as the weather was extremely hot and humid.
Seemed like a very family-friendly place. Also seemed like a great place to go with friends.
Beautiful to see the Oasis in the desert.
