The story · English

During an intense heatwave at the Dead Sea, guests at the David Hotel were surprised by an unusual visitor: a lively duck that entered the hotel pool and refused to leave. The duck's sudden appearance in the cool water caught swimmers and lifeguards off guard, turning into a humorous spectacle.

Guests and hotel staff attempted to catch the duck, but it proved too quick and evasive, swimming energetically across the pool. Lifeguards eventually gave up, describing the duck's antics as impossible to control. Visitors tried various methods, including using a fishing rod, but the duck continued to swim laps, eliciting laughter from everyone around.

One guest who recorded the event told C14 that the duck seemed to be cooling off from the extreme heat, which was described as "scorching." The incident became the day's highlight for swimmers, providing a lighthearted break from the oppressive temperatures. The duck's unexpected pool visit was seen as a refreshing escape from the heat, even if it skipped the formal check-in process at the hotel reception.
