The Dead Sea is a prominent landmark on the Israeli tourist map. This is a beach with many special features: it is the lowest point on earth, has a salinity 10 times higher than the oceans and a poetic landscape surrounded by desert.
In particular, although it is called the Dead Sea, it is actually a saltwater lake located between the borders of Israel, Palestine and Jordan, in the famous Holy Land of Jerusalem. There is an interesting thing when traveling to the Dead Sea, which is that even if you are a person who cannot swim, when bathing here, you can still float on the water surface.
With its surreal beauty, in complete contrast to the surrounding desert landscape, the Dead Sea attracts a large number of visitors every year.
Located right on the border of Israel, Palestine and Jordan, the Dead Sea is about 55km from the center of Amman. Therefore, you can combine a visit to the Petra Jordan area and the Dead Sea in one day.
An interesting point is that when you come to the Dead Sea, you can enjoy the feeling of swimming but your body is still floating on the water surface. This is due to the density of dissolved salt, so your body weight seems lighter when you come here. Therefore, when you soak in the Dead Sea, you will not sink but always float on the water surface, which is very interesting.
The most prominent highlight at the Dead Sea is the lake with a beautiful cobalt blue color. On clear days, the water surface seems to reflect the blue sky, with rows of trees reflecting down very impressively.
The scenery around the Dead Sea is also very beautiful, with sandy deserts on all sides, suitable for those who love sightseeing and exploration. If you are someone who wants to fully enjoy the surreal beauty of the Dead Sea, you can leisurely stroll along both banks or sit on the white sand to admire the stunningly beautiful scenery stretching before your eyes.
