Seeking Therapeutic Mineral Water KE KE 1-4960 These bathers are relaxing on one of the Dead Sea beaches after enjoying the therapeutic qualities of the mineral waters of the sea. Arad, the urban center of the Dead Sea area, is popular for its weather. Tourists from all over the world who suffer from asthmatic diseases and allergies find the dry and pollen- free air as a means of relief from those ailments. Although Arad is noted for the hot springs, mineral waters and the dry air, It also is known for its variety of hotels, swimming pools, shop- ping centers and entertainment. The Dead Sea is alive. To some, the lake located at the lowest spot in the earth's surface is an exotic, en- thralling place, unique in its fierce desert beauty. To oth- ers, it is an unsurpassed therapeutic center where aches, pains and skin di- seases have been helped. The -brooding rock for- tress of Ma-§ada has at- tracted thousands of visitors to its heroic heights where, according to Josephus, a handful held off the might of Rome • for years, finally choosing death at their own hands, rather than surren- der. The Push oasis of Ein Gedi, verdant in contrast with the desert scrub ar- ound it, houses a kibutz, a health resort, a • youth hos- tel, a nature study center and the splashing waters of David's fountain recalling that a King once sought re- fuge here. This is an invita- tion to a lively Dead Sea holiday. The Dead Sea is the deepest point in the de- pression extending from Syria to the heart of Af- rica. This depre-ssion was created when the crust - of the earth was in its final stages of formation. Traces of this geological happening can be found in the bibical story about Sodom -and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). • - The lake, which is about 50 miles long and close to 1;300 feet below sea-level, is flanked on both sides by mountains. To the east are. the mountains of Moab, to the west the hills of Jerusa- lem and Judah. The peaks of Judean hills reach an alti- tude of 3,500 feet. Urban center of the re- gion is the town of Arad, about 2,000 feet above the Mediteranean, it is 3,300 feet above the level of the Dead Sea yet the distance between them is 10 miles. The entire region from Arad, all the way to the Dead Sea is an arid land with very few rainy days in The mineral springs, like the sweet water springs, are usually situated in the del- tas of the dry river beds. In these deltas you will also find ruins of old fortresses. - These old fortesses called Mezudot of Mezad were built against Invaders from across the lake. One of them is Mezad Zohar which can he seen from the road climb- ing up to Arad. .Arad founded in 1962, was built for workers in the winter.
