The day trip is only recommended. In combined excursions there are just under 1 - 1 1/2 hours, so it is about 5 - 6. You can eat and drink well in the resort (self-paid), treat yourself to a wonderful massage (I've never had a better one), in the Beach club or relax on the beach. Small recommendation, please do not take the best bathing suits with you, the mud bath - also recommended - and the high salt content does damage the textiles. Bath towels are also available there for a fee. Bathing shoes are also almost inevitable, because the floor, especially in the high season, is unbearably hot and the salt deposits on the beach and when entering the water are not good for the feet - smooth on the beach and rocky and pointed the first few meters into the water.

Well organized

Pick up from the hotel worked well, buses were comfortable, the tour guide was very competent. Had spent about 4.5 hours on the Dead Sea. The tour participants got a 5% discount in the cosmetic shops. Overall it was worth it, maybe a little shorter stay in the heat would have been enough.

Very relaxing day at the Dead Sea

We were looking forward to this trip and our expectations were exceeded by this trip! The trip through the desert with Beduine camps on both sides of the road and then going down and down below sea level was just breathtaking. Also, the palmtree plantations are quite specatular. We also got a glimpse of the city of Jericho! Kalai Beach is a place where you get everything you need for a day at the Dead Sea. When we got there around 10 am it was still very quiet but unfortunately it didn't stay that way. There were some very noisy tourists there who were really super excited when they got into the water. All in all, it was a beautiful day at this special place and we did not regret skipping the Massada part of the tour! Finally some time to relax in Israel.
