Kalia Beach on the Dead Sea is not your typical beach. It's more of a rocky shore, so be careful when bathing as there are hidden rocks in the mud. The locker rooms and showers are convenient, and the highlight is the experience of entering the Dead Sea and effortlessly floating. The shop area is well-stocked with items such as beauty products, towels, flip flops, and a bar. However, the beach is paid and I felt I was overcharged. The scenery before arriving at the parking area was not great, with old buildings turned into graffiti canvases. The beach itself is small, crowded, and dirty, and the plastic chairs don't help its aesthetic. Furthermore, the bathing area is filled with underground rocks that can't be seen due to the mud, making it dangerous if you're not paying attention. While there's nothing that can be done about the rocks, it would be helpful to have visible warnings or to put the stairs in a safer place.
Overall, Kalia Beach on the Dead Sea is not the most pleasant beach experience. It seems designed to get visitors to spend money, and the beach itself is not particularly inviting. However, bathing in the Dead Sea is a unique experience that should be done at least once in your life, so I recommend it for the experience, but don't expect a luxurious or peaceful beach visit.
