Dead Sea

What is a trip to this part of the world without a stop to float in the Dead Sea? You probably know that this is the lowest point on earth at about 480 meters below sea level. The water is about 10 times saltier than the oceans, making it near impossible to swim under water. The salt is considered healthy (for external use only) as are mud baths full of Dead Sea salt.
Here are 5 pictures at a beach resort in Jordan to look at the Sea and the beach in use by a few people. The temperature was in the 80s farenheit.
Notice how far down the water is. The Dead Sea is shrinking as evaporation exceeds the rate of inflow.
As it was pretty hazy, Israel across the way is barely visible.Meer informatie
