You must go to the Dead Sea if you are visiting Israel. Though most of the locals (i.e. David and his family) told me it was boring and not worth it, I disagree and think anyone visiting the country would enjoy the beautiful drive. It is the lowest point on earth and the water is so salty that you cannot help but float. As you walk out into the water from the beach you will find yourself levitating up and the only comfortable position is to lie on your back, otherwise your legs lift up and you end up face planting in the water. We just took a drive to the Dead Sea from Tel Aviv for a day trip, so I don't have much to tell you, other than to show you the pictures of the beautiful scenery from the drive and at the sea.
