You spent a whole day sunbathing by the sea, wading in the pool, and didn’t miss out on the spa either. And now evening is here, and you still feel like having more fun.
Where can you go out at night at the Dead Sea?
Until a few years ago, the Dead Sea was known as an entertainment spot for senior citizens (no insult intended), because in the evening hours it lived up to its name – the “dead” sea. Except for hungry swarms of mosquitos, you wouldn’t encounter a living soul outside after sunset. But today the up and coming entertainment scene at the Dead Sea has lots to offer. Below is a list of things to do there after dark:
Restaurants:
The Dead Sea beaches boast a magnificent list of high quality hotels, and some also have great restaurants worth visiting.
There is the Ranch House – a South American meat restaurant located in the Isrotel Dead Sea Hotel, and also the Taj Mahal – a Bedouin hospitality experience.
We won’t give you recommendations regarding specific restaurants, because like anyone who loves to eat – we’ve discovered that the service, menu and quality of the food at each establishment change from time to time. So the best plan is to just go out, taste what you will, and form your own opinion.
Alcohol:
You can choose from a wide selection of alcoholic beverages (mostly local) in the hotel lobbies. But if you feel like going out to a real bar, you can find that too. Hang out at the nearby Biankini Beach, which features a dance bar with dance parties and karaoke evenings (inquire about the night’s program before arriving), or head to the more distant “Muza” bar in Arad – in the opposite direction – that offers 30 types of whiskey and broadcasts soccer games non-stop, if that happens to interest you.
Night Fun for Families:
You don’t you feel like leaving the kids behind when you go out?
The Leonardo Club Hotel at the Dead Sea offers you Fantasy Island – a complex housing a unique 7-D cinema, and a laser tag course open every day until midnight.
The brand new Dead Sea mall is a great place to spend an hour of uninhibited brand name shopping, and then enjoy a coffee or ice cream break at one of the several indoor cafes.
Music:
The Dead Sea region is known for its unique festivals and performances.
There are the breathtaking opera shows in Masada, or you can attend the Tamar Festival – 4 days of performances by Israeli artists, or dance till you drop at the Rave – an electronic music dance festival – and there is still more.
The shows are usually scheduled during certain times of the year – the Tamar Festival during the Sukkot holiday, the Rave later in the Fall…
Therefore, it’s recommended to inquire about musical entertainment in advance, or simply enjoy whatever the hotels have to offer during your stay.
With that we conclude this brief description of night life at the Dead Sea. If you want to learn more about the Dead Sea, visit the blog home page, at the following link: Dead Sea Information
Tourists from around the world come throughout the year to spend time in the hotels and on the shores of the Dead Sea, and enjoy all that the surrounding area has to offer. But sometimes all you have is one day to sample the delights of the Dead Sea. So how can you make the most of just one day?
We offer two options, and you are welcome to choose the one that suits you best.
A Fun Day of Self-Indulgence
Ninety-nine percent of the hotels in the Dead Sea offer, among their wide range of pampering services and activities, a one-day experience on the beach. This special day usually includes:
One or two meals
Beach time for tanning
Use of the hotel facilities, including the Dead Sea water pools and standard pools
And of course, a spa that includes a hot tub, sauna, massages and more…
How enjoyable will this experience be? It all depends on your budget.
The more you invest, and the more exclusive hotel you visit, the more luxurious your day will be. The more ritzy hotels will provide you with accessories such as bathrobe, flip flops and even soaps. Thus you won’t need to bring toiletries or towels with you. Simply arrive and enjoy yourself.
A Fun Day for the Adventurous
If you are less interested in being totally pampered, and feel like combining seaside recreation with exploring the scenery, nature and history of the area, we have another suggestion.
It is advisable to start the day early, to make the most of the hours before it gets too hot, and begin with a tour of Masada, one of the world’s most regarded historical sites.

Once you have experienced and breathed in the amazing history of the place, you can go on a nature tour and view the local landscapes. How far you venture and how much you see depends on the season and how much you are willing to exert yourself.
You can choose from a variety of desert landscape trails (it is recommended to rent or hire a guide with a 4X4 vehicle, to better navigate the more challenging trails), or explore one of the many water (believe it or not) hikes in the area.
It is extremely important to prepare well for this part of your trip, and choose your route wisely. Stock up on supplies and check with the local weather authority to avoid the challenges and dangers caused by flash flooding and harsh terrain conditions.
Did you finish your hike or drive? Now it’s time for some rest and relaxation.
On the shores of the Dead Sea – from its northern end all the way down to the hotel area – you will find a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.
Then it’s into the water, because it is impossible to visit the Dead Sea without experiencing the sea itself.

Make sure you are organized to make the most of your day!
If you chose the second option, prepare for yourself a list of clothes and other thing you will need during the day – both for the tours you have chosen and for the beach.
Did you forget something? Don’t worry.
The Dead Sea is a particularly touristy area and you can find just about anything you need – if you agree to spend a little more than you would in a regular town or city…
We hope we have helped you get an idea of how to plan a day of fun at the Dead Sea.
