The water of the Dead Sea has 29% salt and mineral content, the highest of all the seas in the world, with a particularly high concentration of Calcium, Magnesium (antiallergic effect), Bromine (relaxing effect) and Bitumen which makes less photosensitive skin and also has an anti-inflammatory effect. The healing power of the air is linked to the special layer of suspended mineral salts, which produce an atmospheric filter. This layer is created by the high evaporation rate, mainly caused by high temperatures throughout the year, low humidity and high atmospheric pressure. Extremely pure and dry air is the richest in oxygen in the world.

For more than 330 days of sunshine a year, the atmospheric layer filters out harmful UVB rays, allowing for a healthy tan, rather than burning the skin. The penetrating UVA rays are suitable for therapeutic purposes, as is the dark peloid mud, which abounds on the shores of the Dead Sea.
