Route 90 to Dead Sea Hotels Temporarily Closed Due to Flooding

December 28, 2025

Heads up if you’re planning a Dead Sea getaway! Police have temporarily closed a section of Route 90 between Dragot Junction and the Dead Sea hotel area due to dangerous driving conditions and flooding in the region.

This closure affects access to the main hotel zone where most Dead Sea resorts are located. The stormy weather has created hazardous road conditions that make travel unsafe for visitors.

If you have Dead Sea hotel reservations or are planning to visit soon, we recommend checking with your accommodation about alternative routes or waiting until conditions improve. Most Dead Sea hotels are experienced with weather-related delays and can provide guidance on the best approach routes.

The closure is temporary and implemented for traveler safety. Israeli authorities typically reopen roads quickly once conditions stabilize. For real-time updates, check with your hotel concierge or local traffic reports before heading out.
