Dead Sea

Dead Sea, Sea of Salt Located in the Jordan Valley, and it is part of the Great Rift Valley which runs from East Africa to Turkey, Dead Sea is a small lake and remains of a giant inland lake. Lake Lisan was 200 kilometers long and approximately 200 meters deeper than the current level of Dead Sea. As it contracted, it left Tiberias Lake and Dead Sea, which at 408 meters below sea level is the lowest point on earth.

Dead Sea is known to be the lowest point in the world and the saltiest sea too. It has been named as Dead Sea because it contains the highest level of salt in the world that makes the water not suitable for any living creature to live in .

Near the northern end of the Sea, the water of the Jordan River flows into the Baptism Site, which may also be where the prophet lIyas ascended to heaven in a whirlwind. Near the Dead Sea there are Mountains of Moab and Mount Nebo, where the prophet Moses first saw the Promised Land, famously overlooking the Dead Sea. Mukawir, or Herod's Palace, also has a fascinating view.

The salt content of the sea is 20%, which means that it is the highest level, eight times the level of the world's oceans. This concentration contributes to the amazing buoyancy of the water and is a legacy of years of evaporation. The only life forms left in the Dead Sea are eleven species of bacteria. Many visitors around the world come to the Dead Sea to treat  and heal their bodies as the Dead Sea water is rich in minerals including (calcium, magnesium, bromine, iodine, and bitumen). These minerals are considered to be the most components  which are used at the medical treatment centres in the Dead Sea and other cities.  Even those suffering only from ennui can enjoy the high-quality spas in the area. In addition, due the unique depth of its location, the climate and quality of sunshine in the Dead Sea area is beneficial. Dead Sea salts and mud are known worldwide for their healthful properties.
