I didn't spend long in there, and had a cold shower to get the oily film and salt off your skin. The older kids seemed to enjoy the experience more than the younger ones. A word of advice to all - if you ever go to the dead sea - don't go in here, there were better places down further. After everyone was out, we were trying to work out how we ...
