NEVE MIDBAR BEACH (NORTH OF THE DEAD SEA)


The meaning of the name Dead Sea in Hebrew is Yam HaMelach, “Sea of Salt”, also called the Salt Sea. It is a salt lake that borders Jordan to the east and Israel to the west. Its surface and shores are 422 metres below sea level, the lowest elevation on the earth's surface on dry land.
The Dead Sea is 378 m deep, the deepest hyper saline lake in the world. It is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, with 33.7% salinity.
The Dead Sea water salty is 8.6 times more than the ocean water. This salinity makes for a harsh environment where animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 67km long and 18km wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.

In autumn, winter and spring we like to spend our time on the naturist beach in the Dead Sea; the name of the beach is Neve Midbar and the meaning in Hebrew is Oasis Beach. Neve Midbar Beach is located 40 km east of Jerusalem approximately 35-minute drive via highway no. 1 East.
In July, August and sometimes in September it is very difficult to enjoy the Dead Sea, because the weather is very hot in this region; the average temperature is 40⁰C.
Alternatively, we spend our spare time at Ga'ash Beach, located 22km north of Tel Aviv.

 We usually gather at the beach on Saturdays or holidays,  happy and of course naked. There are naturists who like to smear black mud over their bodies, a refreshing and healthy practice. By applying black mud to our bodies it makes the skin soft and gentle. Quite a few naturists eat and drink while others enjoy the glassy sea, and few have a friendly chat with each other. The ambience on the naturist beach is very good and the weather also fine. That's the reason why we frequent this beach by spending there almost every Saturday.

During the cold winter of Jerusalem the weather in Neve Midbar Beach is very pleasant most winter days. The average temperature in the wintertime is around 25⁰C.

The Israeli Naturist Community, a full member of the International Naturist Federation since 2001, welcomes foreign naturists warmly all over the world at their pristine naturist beach. Guests are invited to attend their meetings.
