I guess you were not at Mineral Beach on a weekend -- the people-watching (largely Russian Israelis and a few tourists) was entertaining. Every 15-20 minutes someone would stagger blindly towards the shore, trying to look nonchalant despite near panic -- having ignored the rule (it is way beyond mere advice) 'Do NOT get the water in your eyes!'It IS possible to drown, btw, just not to sink -- imagine getting that water in your lungs!They say Cleopatra sent for Dead Sea salts and mud for her beauty. I've read that only one or two types of bacteria can live in the water and may be part of what helps successfully treat many skin conditions. Priyank – welcome back!

The pics are great. Like you said it is rich in history, being 417 m below sea level is very cool too. Again very cool and interesting, I love how you explain things. The pics are great.
