Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake located between Jordan and Israel. It's famous for being the Earth's lowest point on land, at over 430 meters below sea level. The water is extremely salty—about ten times saltier than typical ocean water—which prevents most aquatic life from surviving, hence the name "Dead Sea." Its high salt concentration allows people to float easily. The Dead Sea is also known for its mineral-rich mud and water, which are believed to have therapeutic properties, attracting visitors seeking health benefits and relaxation.
