What is Neshima Israel?
Neshima Israel maps hot springs and mineral spa experiences across North, Center, Dead Sea, and South. We keep things straightforward: pool temperatures, sauna types, treatment options, plus local tips to dodge peak times. We're not a booking site—just practical guidance to plan a calm, efficient visit.
Details evolve—always confirm on the venue's official site before you go.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a natural spring and a spa complex?
Natural springs offer a wilder experience with fewer amenities; complexes include organized pools, saunas, showers, and treatments.
What water temperature counts as "hot"?
Most sites are 36–40°C; Jordan Valley and Hamat Tiberias springs may be hotter (~40°+). Adjust your time in the water based on personal health.
When is it least crowded?
Mid-week evenings, outside holidays and school breaks. In summer — very early morning or late evening.
