The Dead Sea is one of the most visited sites in Israel.
One of the reasons why so many people want to visit the Dead Sea is the fact that it is the lowest place on earth at 431m below sea level, rich with healing mineral waters, the air full of oxygen, rare animals and world-class historical sites.
The Dead Sea is a place popular with both Israeli’s who are searching for a few days of relaxation, as well as all the people around the world who want to take advantage of the medical properties of the water.
Warnings & Dangers in Dead Sea
OVERALL RISK: HIGH
In general, it can be said that there is a potential risk of terrorism in the areas visited by tourists and that you can easily be robbed there. Pay special attention to your passport and never leave it out of your control.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK: LOW
You should know that traveling around this region of the country is not so simple and that you might have some trouble due to not so frequent busses, but your safety will not be affected.
PICKPOCKETS RISK: HIGH
There is a high risk of valuables being stolen from you, especially in public transport and other crowded public places. Be careful at the beach and never leave your belongings alone.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK: MEDIUM
During extreme weather conditions, roads can flood and as it is in the desert, heatstrokes are frequent, so you should be ready for the possibility of extreme heat.
MUGGING RISK: MEDIUM
In the majority of cases, visits of the Dead Sea are trouble-free, but you should be aware that the theft of passports, credit cards, and valuables from public places is common and you should take precautions to protect yourself and your belongings.
TERRORISM RISK: HIGH
Terrorists are very likely to carry out attacks in Israel and the attacks can happen in places frequented by foreigners, and on public transport so usually travelers are warned against traveling there as many visitors have been killed and wounded in attacks in recent years.
SCAMS RISK: LOW
The possibility of being scammed is not so frequent, but you are suggested not to use taxis.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK: LOW
Women here can feel quite trouble-free as there were no incidents related to the crimes against women.
So... How Safe Is Dead Sea Really?

The political situation there is complicated, but you can?still travel safely.
Just as in any other city, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen.
You will have to act wisely so as to minimize unnecessary risks and the first thing you should do is stay away from violent demonstrations if you run into them.
People here do not like taking photos of them and in order not to attract attention, you should not raise a lot of noise.

Our suggestion is to take a route that does not go through the West Bank when traveling there, being that those areas in dispute can make you feel unsafe.

A fun day
Really enjoyed our trip to the Israeli side of the Dead Sea. Loads of guards and good changing fascilities helped relax us. An area has been laid out with buoys for safe lifeguard supervised swimming. A very pleasant day out.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
