Dead Sea

I live in a country with a million nature, religious and historic sites an hour from my home, but always scratch my head wondering what to do with guests coming through.

Vert Dead Sea became Israel’s first hotel to host a three-day Wellness Festival in mid-June. The event was a great success.

In addition, water is being pumped from the sea to Dead Sea Works factories’ artificial evaporation ponds. So little water enters the salt lake in the north and lots of water exits in the south. 

In the long run, a Middle East alliance for water sustainability can have a positive impact on saving the Dead Sea, which is lacking regional cooperation. 

The sediments at the edge of Lake Lisan near the archaeological site of Masada and from the bottom of the Dead Sea are unique witnesses to this development.

If there is a place on this globe where humans are exploiting and destroying nature on an unprecedented scale, it’s the Dead Sea. 

It’s not always easy to find a nice, reasonably priced place to stay in our tiny country, but the thought of finally being able to take a real vacation is extremely enticing.

The hotel was built on the shores of the Dead Sea where the iconic Hod hotel used to be. The renovations were done during the lockdown and now, offering the highest level of design and finish.

Drones were initially able to locate part of the group but not all of the children. They eventually were all located and rescued by volunteers who reached them on foot.
