Does anyone know if there is an area of the Dead Sea a frum family can visit without seeing untznius women? Not a separate beach – we’re looking for an area where people are not bathing that both male and female family members can visit together. Thanks!
I was in the area recently and I met a Frum man (He seemed Chassidic) from Monsey in Arad. I met him at the Tire shop and I helped him with hebrew as I spoke some and he did not.
After giving him help he told me he goes to the Dead Sea a few times a year for his Sciatica , So I am guessing there is. You probably would not want to go to Ein Bokek there are alot of Spas there.
You might also want to try the Jordanian side, there are beaches there too
Not really sure what you’re looking for since the Dead Sea has beaches and water and that is why people are there – to go into the water, meaning they will be wearing some sort of bathing suit. On the separate beaches you might find women in tznius bathing suits, but since it’s already a separate beach, not all women bother to go the extra measure.
ZD – I don’t think it is at all appropriate to suggest going to Jordanian beaches. Don’t you know that a person can be refused entry to some of the Arab countries simply for having an Israeli stamp in their passport. Yes, Jordan and Israel have a peace agreement, but unfortunately not all of their inhabitants are exactly thrilled about that fact.
I have no problem recommending visitng Jordan, I was just there recently and there was no problem. The Arabs just want to sell you something.
I even saw the mountain where Aaron is buried.
Alot of Gedolim have been in Jordan this year because of Smittah, they hold that Jordan is a Safek and will buy produce from Jordan.
And lastly it wasnt Jordan that gave me a problem crossing the border, it was Israel. The Israeli kept asking me about an Israeli Passport (I dont have one and never did and I was born in NYC so I didnt understand the question)
and BTW I have been to Egypt too and had no problems there either
