Driving to the Dead Sea is super easy and a very comfortable (and beautiful) drive. Have fun.... although you probably already went!
I remember our tour guide, Michal Enov, explaining to us that no one can leave their boats in the dead sea, because the salt just eats through the hull. Then I remember looking at the water and seeing a boat moored to an anchor a little ways out in the sea. Stupid lying tour guides...

Definitely a worthwhile trip to go to the Dead Sea. It will make a memory for you along with a trip to the top of Masada nearby.
I am going with my family this summer.
We are spending 3 nights 4 days in Tel Aviv including going to Opening Game for The Israel Baseball League, going to beach, going to Tiberias, going to Rosh Hanikra ( caves) and artists colony Safed from there. Four nights nad five days in Jerusalem. One of those days from Jerusalem we will go to Masada/Dead Sea. We will also go to Yad shem, Israel Museum, Old City. There is so much to do in Jerusalem and from Jerusalem, including the Dead Sea trip.
