Kalia Beach
Kalia Beach Review
On the Dead Sea, Kalia Beach (the name derives from kalium, the Latin name for potassium, which is found in abundance here) is the place to go for a free mud bath. Slather your whole body with the mineral-rich mud and let it dry before showering; you'll enjoy the rejuvenating properties of this spalike experience. The beach, adjacent to a kibbutz, also has chair and towel rentals, a gift shop, and a snack bar.
