Tips for an Easy and Enjoyable Trip

Heading out on this tour means packing smart and thinking ahead:

• Bring swimwear and a towel for the Dead Sea dip.
• Wear sandals or water shoes; the salt can be sharp.
• Sunscreen is a must - you'll be outdoors a lot.
• Stay hydrated; the desert sun drains you faster than you think.

The trip is pretty gentle on the legs with easy walking around the baptism site and relaxed lounging by the Dead Sea. Best time to visit? Early spring or fall when temperatures are pleasantly warm.
