    I visited a Dead Sea spa a few years ago while on holiday. The experience was definitely better than UK SPA’s and I do plan to visit Jordan or Egypt in the future.

    I always find it weird that covering yourself in mudd is a good way to improve your skin. I will definitely have to check out the Dead Sea on my next vacation.
