Dead Sea

The Dead Sea, located in Israel near Jerusalem, holds the distinction of being the lowest point on Earth at 1,269 feet (383 meters) below sea level. This unique body of water is also one of the world’s saltiest, a characteristic that draws visitors from around the globe. They come to experience the remarkable buoyancy that the high salinity provides, as well as to take advantage of the nutrient-rich mud found along its shores. The stark, arid landscape and the dense, mineral-laden waters create an otherworldly environment that offers both relaxation and natural therapy.
