Ein Bokek

Ein Bokek is Israel's premier Dead Sea resort area on the southwestern shore of the Dead Sea — the lowest point on Earth's surface at 430 metres below sea level — where chloride-rich Dead Sea mineral water with the world's highest natural salinity (approximately 34% dissolved salts) offers bathing within a long thermal and mineral tradition associated with well-being in a globally renowned spa environment. The Dead Sea's extreme mineral richness — its water contains 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, bromide, potassium, and iodine in concentrations far exceeding any other natural body of water — has been the foundation of an international wellness tourism industry, and Ein Bokek's resort cluster is the hub of this Israeli Dead Sea spa economy. The Dead Sea's rapidly declining water level (dropping approximately one metre per year) due to water diversion from the Jordan River adds ecological urgency to the experience of floating effortlessly in the most mineral-dense water on Earth.
