Dead Sea Route 90 Closed Due to Flooding – Travel Updates

Heads up for travelers planning to visit the Dead Sea! Route 90, the main road connecting to Dead Sea hotels, is currently closed in several sections due to flooding in southern Israel.

Police have implemented a complete closure between Nahal Dragot and the Dead Sea hotels, warning of strong water flows in the area. Additional closures are affecting the central route to Eilat as well.

If you’re planning to visit the Dead Sea region, authorities are directing drivers to use Route 40 as an alternative. This might add some time to your journey, but it’s the safest option right now.

Weather conditions can change quickly in Israel’s desert regions, especially during winter months. If you have Dead Sea hotel reservations, we recommend calling ahead to confirm the best route and any potential delays. Most Dead Sea resorts are still operating normally – it’s just the access roads that are affected.

Keep an eye on traffic updates if you’re traveling in the coming days, and always prioritize safety over schedule when weather conditions are challenging.
