7 Amazing Dead Sea Beaches - Full Review

you dig through the shore and you get it out of the water and it is amazing it feels gooey and doughy and you just want to play with it like play-doh it's like sand but it's made out of salt it's a salt sand if you go in to fly half across the world to swim into that sea twitch peach tree to go to in this video we're gonna show you all seven of them [Music] [Music] there are seven beaches in the Dead Sea that are still open to the public and they are divided into two groups for in the north and three in the south the North beaches are very different from the south they have murky water they are prone to higher waves and they have admission fees however they have resort style amenities and an abundance of the magical Dead Sea month the South beaches have the crystal clear water with beautiful turquoise colors where you get to walk on a shore of salt the body of water is much smaller and shallower here so there are no waves and unlike the northern beaches the entrance is free however you don't find any natural mud here just salt [Music] another significant difference between the North and the South basins is the salt concentration the North beaches are located by the mouth of the Jordan River which brings fresh water into the sea while the South beaches are located on the evaporation pools which are designed to evaporate the water increase the salt concentration and eventually extract the salt so the South beaches have a much higher salt concentration than the north and we could easily taste the difference really salty it's hurting my lips oh wow the salt concentration here is insane so salted it feels like it's bitter it's like my thong is confused and going insane but there are two more beaches that are not on the list because they have enclosed due to the sinkholes I was taken to fly a drone the show they are extremely dangerous and deadly so please do not attempt to go there for your own safety [Music] so without any further ado let's begin the review of the best seven beaches in the Dead Sea the three beaches in the very north of the sea are accessible through the same Road when comparing the actual shorelines they look very similar to each other however each one offers different amenities let's see the first peach Thalia please note that the opening hours and prices provided in this video are from October 2018 so for up-to-date information please check the official web sites we put their links in the description of this video Kalia Beach is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and summer and to 6 p.m. in the winter the entrance fee is 59 shekels for an adult and 46 shekels per child be aware that you'll be required to pay the entrance fee even if you come for a few minutes before the closing time but there is a way to waive the fee at least in 2018 if you buy lunch for about 60 shekels in the restaurant by the Qumran caves park you will get a free entrance ticket to the beach [Music] the access to the shore in Kalia Beach is not easy as you'll need to take a long walk down the stairs this is because the dead sea level has significantly dropped in the past few decades so the shoreline keeps getting further and further away but this problem is not unique to this Beach as all four beaches in the north base inhabit the salt level of the water in Kalia Beach is lower than in the South but it is still very high it is more than enough for you to float we try to find out the salinity level in comparison to the South beaches but we fail to find any research done on the subject the only information we found was that the level of salt varies from 20 to 35 percent so we believe this place falls into the lower range but even with 20% of salt this water is 6 times saltier than the ocean all three North beaches have month but we found Kalia beach to have the greatest abundance of it [Music] that spot right there was maybe I don't know honor them 50 degrees it was burning my feet it was so hot pretty cool it's like a hot hot mod sauna hot mom [Music] putting the black mud on is not just some sort of thing you do when you come to Israel or the Dead Sea this actually have a health benefit behind it there is so much minerals and salt in this that it just eats up your dead skin and when you apply it and sit in the Sun for a little while and let it dry and then wash it off you're gonna have a smooth skin that is just unbelievable like a baby's skin seriously it is amazing what it does you just come to a beach and you dig through the shore and you get it out of the water and it is amazing it feels gooey and doughy and you just want to play with it like play-doh and then just apply it and enjoy enjoy this experience because I don't think you can find it anywhere else this Beach is situated at the very north point of the Dead Sea which is very good on the way today if there's a lot of waves a lot of wind it's kind of hard to swim into that sea you don't want to the water to get in your eyes splash but this Beach it's situated the very North Point there's a little bay the north side as you can see there are no waves here even though it's very wavy out there no waves out here [Music] kaalia beach also happens to be the home of the lowest bar in the world [Music] this slushie right now here that's see when it's 40 degrees Celsius it's really nice Galia Beach offers the standard amenities changing rooms with lockers showers toilets and restaurant juice bar and a few gift shops so Kalia is a kibbutz nearby and they have their own Beach and they also have their own date plantation and they sell them so this is very unique that they have this store and they have all these date spreads and wines and teas and spices it's really very very cool [Music] the next neighboring beach is just a walking distance away it's name is Bianchini the shore of Dain kini is almost identical to the previous Beach [Music] but the difference is in the immunities this is not only a beach but also a resort with houses to stay overnight in this Beach is great for families as it has plenty of activities for the children it has a fresh water swimming pool a game room [Music] a beautiful Moroccan restaurant welcome to the Moroccan being in a restaurant [Music] this Beach Resort has a great theme that most children would love and of course it too has locker rooms showers toilets and a gift shop and in addition this Beach has something that no other Beach has a small synagogue beach powers are from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and if you purchase your tickets on their website you can get them for seventy five shekels the third beach in this area is the NIMH Eyman but this Beach has a similar Shore to the first two [Music] and similar to the Bianchini beach it offers its guests to stay overnight in their campsite if you bring your own tent or in their cool-looking huts but that would be an extra cost we are here just for the beach which is open from 9:00 a.m. until sunset summer or winner and the entrance fee is 85 shekels one of the unique features of nova meat bar is the BBQ grills facing the Dead Sea this is by far one of the best grilling spots we've seen in Israel this is probably the best view for grilling Navy meat bar has a beautiful restaurant facing the Dead Sea it also has a bar a large adult swimming pool and one for children and of course the standard amenities locker showers toilets and a gift shop in summary the first three northern beaches are the best places to find the natural that sea mud but which one to choose here's our recommendation if there are high waves or you plan on visiting the Qumran caves and Kalia Beach is the best option because you get a free entrance and no waves if you have children love Moroccan food or want to stay overnight then Bianchini is a good choice your kids will love the game room the pools and the overall theme however if you plan on grilling out or just don't fit the first two categories then you are better off with navy mid-body [Music] the north basin has another beach by the n gary hot springs and it is very unique this Beach belongs to the sea of Spa Resort and it's open from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. the entrance fee is 95 shekels per adult and 61 shekels per child like the name suggests this Beach is built on top of the thermo mineral well that provides hot Sulphur water from the depths of the earth so you can dive into the sulfur water pools which believe to have health benefits due to the declining level of the Dead Sea water the actual beach is half a mile away from the resort to address this problem the resort came up with a creative and a fun solution [Music] if you visit this place in the summer towards the end of the day the water will be very hot I think I can boil eggs in that it's like a hot it's hot it's hot Wow since the beach itself does not have the mud the resort brings it by the truckloads into a designated mudding area and this is really great because it is ready there's no sand in here it is nice mud there is a very cool walkway by the beach that leads you to the lowest place on earth see if think about it if you stand here there is no where else to go but cheesy very cheesy the aim get a sea of spa resort has plenty of amenities a large swimming pool gift shops a restaurant a bar lockers showers and toilets overall this Resort is a great place to get a swim at the Dead Sea apply high-quality mud and bathe in the sulfur pools [Music] yeah they're very careful please okay I couldn't see how we continue our drive south to the last three beaches of the Dead Sea they're all located a walking distance from each other along the shoreline of the N bukit district unlike the north and privately-owned beaches these are public and thus have a free entry there are many access points to the water all along the shoreline the first Beach is the endcap it starts at the north of M book AK resort district and stretches all the way to the end of it the official opening hours are 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. however we've seen people bathing in the dusk hours in a desk hours of the morning until the late hours of the night and even though it looks like it belongs to a hotel it is actually a free public beach the water here is crystal clear and beautiful turquoise colors the beach offers standard amenities outdoor showers indoor showers changing rooms toilets keep in mind that there are no lockers this is a great public beach because it is conveniently located by the district shopping center where you can buy food or eat out to find out more information about this place watch our angle tech video it's really great because usually when you go to Resorts that's all you get but here you get to see a lot of history that is just very very near no that's cool the second beach in the southern basin is located just a mile and a half away Zhora is also a public and a free beach the official swimming hours are 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. or just like before there are no gates or fences so we have seen people in the water way asked 5 p.m. but we urge you to stay safe and obey the rules you may hear that it is impossible to drown in the Dead Sea but that is a very misleading statement the Dead Sea was named the second most dangerous place to swim in Israel just a few swallows of this water can cause salt poisoning massive doses of salt hurt the heart and kidneys and can cause the body to shut down it's hurting my lips oh wow the salt concentration here is insane actually Wow Zor is a gorgeous beach here too you will find standard amenities an outside shower changing rooms and toilets Wow that was absolutely fantastic it's like oil on your skin it's so cool Wow looks like you're swimming in oil right it's different from the other one yeah the other ones are not as oily the last and the most southern beach in the Dead Sea is this segregated beach it is located one foot south of the zuhr beach and even though we were tempted to say this is the same beaches or in Google Maps it is flagged as a separate Beach and for a good reason this Beach caters to the Jewish Orthodox community it has two sections one for men and one for women and for that reason we thought it'd be wise not to walk in there with a camera but just take a drone footage from afar we hope you enjoy this episode see you next time know you do look straight check out more of
