The Dead Sea is one of the most famous places in Israel, which is heard from many. Not everyone knows that in fact the dead sea is not at all the sea, but the lake, which is between Israel, Jordan and Palestinian autonomy.
It is much lower than the sea level and is one of the most saline water bodies on Earth.
Tourists go to the Dead Sea mainly for recovery - it is a "healthy" in Israel, there you can cure a number of diseases, and the opportunity to swim in such an unusual place attracts many tourists.
Starting a conversation about hotels on the Dead Sea, I immediately note two features:
- Hotels there are a bit
- These prices are very high (if compared with other Israeli cities or with Europe)
As mentioned above, hotels on the Dead Sea are a bit - about 40 are available to booking.
Among them are options without stars (they are cheaper), several three-star hotels, as well as a number of four and five-star options.
Hotels without star
Such hotels on the Dead Sea are about twenty.
I will start with the budget itself (at the time of writing an article) option - this is a hotel Zimmer Dora.
He is very small, but is very close to the dead sea. Unfortunately, to the nearest beach on which you can swim, you will have to go near a kilometer.
The nearest shopping center is about four kilometers.
It offers free parking, wireless Internet and patio (patio courtyard).
The room has a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning, a seating area, a mosquito net, a bathroom, a small kitchen with a fridge, microwave, stove, kettle and all the necessary accessories, and towels and underwear.
Nutrition is not included in the price, it is assumed that guests will cook themselves. The price per night in the double room (June 2015) is 4 and a half thousand rubles.
Another option accommodation at a similar price is a complex called ALONI NEVE ZOHAR DEAD SEA which is already somewhat closer to civilization - a five-minute drive from it is a shopping center and an area where many other hotels are located.

The price is about the same as for the previous option - about 4 and a half thousand (this is an option without meals), and if you want a breakfast option - get ready for 6 thousand rubles for it (plus this option also is that for him Until a certain period, free cancellation is valid - if you change your mind to go, you will be returned to money).
And one more option "budget" placement on the Dead Sea - Complex Dalya Zimmer. which is in a pair of walking distance from the Dead Sea. I immediately note that there is no comfortable beach, but there is an entry into the water - if it is the beach for you - most likely, this place is not for you.
Guests can enjoy free internet, bicycle rental, free parking. In the immediate vicinity of the hotel there is a bus stop, a shopping center, numerous restaurants and cafes.
In the room, you will find a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, iron with all necessary ironing facilities, work desk, washing machine, seating area, dryer, kitchen with everything you need, bathroom, towels, underwear and terrace.

Prices for the night of a three-star hotel will start from a mark of five with little thousand rubles, and for the most expensive four-star hotel will have to give 15 thousand.
Three star hotel Almog. Located next to the Dead Sea. The pool and a large green lawn are waiting for guests on its territory.
Rooms feature telephone, TV, seating area, mosquito net, bathroom with toiletries, towels, linen and kitchenette.
The price for the double room is a little more than five thousand rubles, breakfast is included in the rate.
For those who like the "All Inclusive" system can be advised. Leonardo Privelege Hotel Dead SEA . It is located near the beach, there is a parking, as well as a spa with a fitness center.
It offers spacious rooms with satellite TV, radio, telephone, safe, minibar, hairdryer, air conditioning, bathroom and free internet.
For accommodation in the hotel will have to give 15 thousand rubles per night, the price includes a full board.
Five Star Hotels
For those who love a luxurious holiday, five-star hotels work on the Dead Sea - five options are available to booking.Prices for accommodation start from nine thousand rubles and end in a mark of 22 thousand rubles, all these options include only breakfast.
In such hotels, you are waiting for the most comfortable rooms with a wide range of services, large pools, spa centers, in some places there are animation.
Power type
Among the hotels of the Dead Sea there are quite a few options with self-catering and without meals in general, as a rule, these are more budget hotels.
Many hotels are offered breakfast, which is included in the room rate, there is half board, but the "all inclusive" system is currently available only in two hotels (both of them are not five star).
Thus, on the Dead Sea, all the options are presented, but the least choice will be those who like the full board, while tourists who prefer the hotel without food or with breakfast are waiting for more than a dozen different options.
