The Dead Sea is 422 metres (1,385 ft) below sea level
this photo was taken at Ein Bokek resort
Situated at the foot of the spring which gives its name, this tourist and therapeutic complex is the biggest and most developed along the entire Dead Sea coast. With twelve luxury hotels, and numerous clinics and spas, hot springs, shopping malls, restaurants and bars, it is created solely for the relaxation and enjoyment of it's visitors. The number of hotels, clinics, and facilities continue to expand to meet with the growing demand of both the day visitors and the longer term tourists and patients.
Ein Bokek is now a modern oasis and panacea for health seekers and tourists alike, and lies in stark contrast to the barren, rugged and genesis landscape of the Judean Desert Cliffs surrounding the area. Notwithstanding, it has been visited by humans since their hunter-gatherer days many thousands of years ago throughout history to the present day. In biblical times the area supplied salt to the world from the huge deposit known as Mount Sodom just south of Ein Bokek. Because of the great value of salt as a meat preserver, it was widely desirable. Roman fortresses were erected and manned to protect the caravansaries transporting these shipments, one of which was situated at Ein Bokek. These archaeological remains and those of a nearby perfume and medicine factory which was also in operation at that time, open a door into another era. |

Hi Arik
I like the composition you did with the reflexes on water.
Good POV and colors.
It seems to be a very calm and alone place to be..
