Destination.sherryTake
Stay at Ein Bokek — every Israeli Dead Sea hotel is here, walking distance to the beach. Avoid hotels north of Mitzpe Shalem (closed for security) and on the Jordanian side unless you specifically want Jordan.

Destination.moneyTips
- 1Hotels include private beach + spa access; day-pass for non-guests is ₪150–280 if you sleep elsewhere.
- 2Half-board is almost always the right choice — there are only 5 restaurants in Ein Bokek and prices are tourist-tier.
- 3Mud and salt scrubs at hotel spas are typically 2–3x the price of the same product at the Ahava factory shop (15 min away).
当地交通
- 1Egged 444 / 421 from Jerusalem to Ein Bokek (~1h 45m, ₪50). 384 from Tel Aviv (3h, ₪60). Plan around the Friday afternoon shutdown.
- 2No buses Shabbat (Fri sundown → Sat sundown). If your stay spans Shabbat, you need a rental car or a Friday-morning arrival.
- 3Within Ein Bokek itself, everything is walkable — the entire hotel strip is 1.5 km along the beach.
Destination.mostCommonMistake
Floating with cuts or shaved skin — the salt burns hard. Save shaving for AFTER your stay.
