Floating in the Dead Sea is unlike any other experience in the world. The buoyancy of the water seems to literally sweep you off your feet and you can’t help but float. We do offer a few safety tips and suggestions if your group gets to experience this natural wonder. Follow all posted safety rules and listen to the lifeguards. Due to the mineral-rich water, there are special instructions for what you can and cannot do while in the sea. Namely, do not put your face in, and keep splashing to a minimum. There will be safety signs posted and we suggest you read them carefully. | Wear an older swimming suit if possible – the salt and other minerals can discolor the fabric. | Water shoes/sandals can be worn for comfort but are not necessary. Please do not wear flipflops. The mud on the bottom of the sea and the density of the water can suck flipflops right off your feet and they can float away quickly. | If you have any small cuts or nicks, or razor burn, they will sting! We suggest not shaving for at least a day or two and making sure any open wounds are covered tightly with a waterproof bandage.
