En Boqeq Attractions

En Boqeq, a tourist center and spa on the southwestern shore of the Dead Sea, has a warm mineral spring which has been used for therapeutic purposes since ancient times. Thanks to the extraordinary climatic conditions and the unique properties of the water of the Dead Sea, En Boqeq has had remarkable success in the treatment particularly of skin diseases.

The deeper layers of water in the Dead Sea, with their very high salt content, store up heat which is used in the production of electric power.

The town

En Boqeq is a town of hotels and spa establishments. To the north of the town are the remains of a fortress (Mezad Boqeq) built by the kings of Judah to provide protection against Moabite attacks.
