If you ask for the 'glowing bays' they will lead you there easily. And once there, local fishermen will take you deeper out the coast to enjoy the event even more, and just for $2-$5 per person, depending on the boat... (HINT FROM A LOCAL: TAKE THE SMALLEST BOATS, not only they are cheaper, but you are in complete contact with the bay and even can jump out safely to swim). For kids, there are also glass-bottom boats. It is an amazing experience, like no other in the world!

The salt water is soo salty that if you accidently get it in your mouth or taste it, its actually spicy. The sea is almost effortless to swim in and impossible to drown. If you swim down under there is alot of resistance against you and you just end up popping back up. One thing they did'nt mention was the mud around the dead sea. If you put it all over your skin it basically moisturizes and your left with slick oily feeling. I ventured out to the dead sea last year and i must say it is very cool.
