Dead Sea, En Gedi, Masada

Passing sea level on the way down to the Dead Sea (Dead Sea is the furthest point below sea level) The car in the picture is the rental car I had until I reached Eilat.

En Gedi waterfall. En Gedi is where David (before he became king) hid from King Saul (it's in the bible in the First Covenant (ie: "Old Testament")) Yes, I did swim under the fall (the second waterfall) - it's only waist deep and no rapids below.

Masada is ~1/2 mile from the Dead Sea - and has amazing views of the Dead Sea. The mountains in the background are in Jordan

Dead Sea (resort area) You REALLY float like a boat --- relaxing swim in a warm mineral bath. It would be nice to have access to the Dead Sea on a regular basis! Mountains in the background are in Jordan - the border between Israel and Jordan is down the middle of the Dead Sea (and why you can only swim in authorized areas!)
