Women sunbathing in a walled-off nude beach at Ein Bokek on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) morning. Men's and women's sections for nude sunbathing are separated by a high wall. The shadow on the left side of the photo is from the photographer's paraglider.
Most tourists come to the Dead Sea for health reasons, as its hypersaline waters are said to help skin afflictions (particularly psoriasis) and because at its altitude 420 m. below sea level, the sunlight has slightly less UV radiation than at a seaside beach.
