It's an amazing experience to literally float so effortlessly even if you have never set foot in water! Just DONT shave the day of or day before attempting to float in the Dead Sea!
You will never forget that place. Take care of your eyes when going into the water. Best time is during sunset. Watchout for lovely details mother nature is providing, incl birds.
Leave your self to the buoyancy of the dead sea. No body can find you in the lowest place of the earth :) best place to rest and read your book even in the water
