There’s always something new to see in Israel. This is one of those things that I’ve driven (or rode) past dozens of times over the years, but never was aware that it existed. Well, I knew in theory that there are warm, salty springs that contribute to the salinity of the Dead Sea, but I didn’t realize that there are a couple that are not built over and are accessible today. This spring is hot, smelly, and shallow, but it’s also good for your skin and it’s free.
