The Dead Sea, situated at the lowest point on Earth, is a salt lake with no outlet to the sea. The high concentration of salt provides a “weightless” experience, easily buoying the body into floating position. In addition, the healing properties of the water and of the mineral mud at the bottom are widely extolled.
The Dead Sea comprises two basins – Northern and Southern. The Northern Basin, where Kalia Beach is located, enjoys an unaltered natural landscape, as the evaporation rate of the seawater is less accelerated than that of the Southern Basin (water is pumped into the Southern Basin to compensate for high evaporation).
