Enjoy Excursions To The Dead Sea On Sharm El Sheikh Holidays

Article Written By: Fleur Fisher

The only thing that the Dead Sea used to be famous for was the slightly ludicrous photographs of a man reading a newspaper whilst floating on the sea. But there is definitely more to the Dead Sea than floating. At 1300 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet. People have woken up to the fact that this landlocked area of mineral enriched water has therapeutic and healing qualities, a fact known since Biblical times. People on Sharm el Sheikh holidays are catching a plane and coming here to take the waters.

This area is steeped in history, with legend suggesting that Cleopatra and King Herod were regular visitors here. Like people today they came from miles away to enjoy the cleansing and rejuvenating qualities of the mud and water. The mud and salts here are so famous that they're shipped internationally to spas and beauty salons.

Thousands of health conscious tourists now flock to the area, which in recent years has seen a rise in spas. Even people relaxing on Naama bay holidays in Egypt, which has a number of spas, take the two hour plane ride to visit the Dead Sea to enjoy the beauty and health benefits.

The Dead Sea has some rather astonishing health benefits that people come from miles around to take advantage of. If you have an ailment or illness, then consider booking an excursion here whilst on your Sharm el Sheikh holidays to see what benefits the salts and mineral in the water can have for you. It is known to be a particularly good place for respiratory conditions, thanks to the low atmospheric pressure in the area. Also the low level means that you can comfortably sunbathe here as there are very low levels of ultra violet sunlight.

Nearby at Ein Gedi are the famous hot springs. The springs have a constant temperature of 38C and have the highest concentration of bromine in the world. Bromine helps reduce blood pressure and relax the nervous system. The salts in the water help to detoxify the system too. The spas here offer massages and aromatherapy sessions.
