Pampering at the Dead Sea Spa

Most people come to the Dead Sea to pamper themselves in a seashore spa. We went to the well known Dead Sea Spa which has more focus on medical treatment, with an in-house dermatologist. We had mud application which cost US$30 per person.

The mud is black in colour and contains various minerals at high concentration levels like calcium, magnesium, iodine, bromine which are good for allergies, improve skin and so on. The black mud used in the spa extracted from the Dead Sea was applied hot to the skin. After the whole body is applied, you are then wrapped up in plastic and covered fully with blanket. The whole body felt very hot and seems like the skins are reacting to some sort of drastic acid reaction. It felt like ages even though it was only for 25 minutes. A good shower to clear up the mud was a much needed relief.
