It was my first time seeing a desert, and the views were incredible. We winded through the desert hills, gradually reaching the lowest point on earth.
We bought a day pass at the Dead Sea Spa Hotel, and made our way to the shore. Our experience can be summed up with: photoshoot, swim, photoshoot, mud, shower. In greater detail, walking into the water felt weirdly normal. It tasted gross though. Then I started floating!!!!! We had so much fun in the water, running in it, floating on our backs, and just drifting around.
