So, if you’re staying at a Dead Sea hotel, this is an absolute must-do (and we’re sure you know it!) – floating in the Dead Sea. A strange, once-in-a-lifetime experience, never to be forgotten. Give it a try!
The Dead Sea is a quite stunning place, and once you’ve seen it and had a bit of a float in it, or a nice pampering session in one of the amazing Dead Sea Hotels, you’ll be hooked.
But in addition to the amazing experience you can have there, there are some amazing facts that we’re sure you have no idea of… and here are our Top 5 awesome facts about the Dead Sea!
At the lowest place on Earth, right at the edge of the Dead Sea with its own private beach, the Crowne Plaza Dead Sea hotel is waiting to pamper you at the highest level possible.
The Crowne Plaza Dead Sea hotel is an elegant vacation spot in the heart of the desert. The hotel houses a unique large freshwater pool with internal currents and is heated during the winter. For your oral pleasure, the hotel’s Rosemarin restaurant serves three meals a day. The rich breakfast menu includes a salad bar with various cheeses and breads.
The Lobby Carnival is the hotel’s dairy restaurant, serving an assortment of salads, sandwiches, toasts, pizza, ice cream, homemade cakes and a selection of hot, cold and alcoholic beverages.
The Dead Sea can be a pleasure to visit throughout the year. But the ideal vacation will probably depend on what your own personal preferences are. For example, in September the holiday season (the Jewish holiday season) is a big factor on prices and even room availability. Everywhere is usually packed to the rafters. If crowds and Jewish holidays are your scene, then September/October are usually very full of action, though holiday dates will vary from year to year.
Another important factor in your decision when to visit the Dead Sea will probably be based on the weather. You’ve probably already learnt that Israel is extremely hot during the summer months, especially July-August. In the Dead Sea it gets extremely hot. Although the sun is less harmful at the Dead Sea, it is still very strong. Something you should take into consideration. If you’d prefer a cooler time to visit, the Spring (March, April and May) or Autumn (October and November) are probably better, as temperatures are a little more tolerable, around the high 20’s.
Winters in Israel and the Dead Sea are not really winters as you know them. You might see some occasional days of rain (which often leads to flash floods in the Dead Sea area, so be careful), but the temperatures are very comfortable.
To cut a long story short, avoid Israel and the Dead Sea in April (when Israel celebrates Passover, or Pessach) or September/October if you hate crowds and don’t want to be limited by numerous public holidays. These months might have the best weather, but they are choc-a-block full of tourists, both locals and from abroad. If you want a more relaxing, and cheaper, holiday, as well as not too overbearing heat-wise, we’d recommend March and late October/November.
Enjoy your trip!
