It's not too late to book a hotel for this week or next! Here are some last minute deals for you to check out:
Hotel and Getaway Deals:
Looking for a deal for a hotel at the Dead Sea? Start here! Note: this site quotes prices for "one person in a double occupancy room" as the price. Your total will reflect the price for 2 people in a double occupancy room, for the number of nights you're booking. Some hotels are available for short one night getaways, and others require a minimum of two nights.
