The Dead Sea, one of Israel's most iconic tourist destinations, also known as the Sea of Salt, holds many surprises. Situated between Israel and Jordan, the Dead Sea lies at an elevation of 430 meters below sea level, lower than any other sea or lake on Earth. Its exceptionally high salt concentration, eight to ten times that of average seawater, allows anyone to float effortlessly on its surface. It might be better described as an oily liquid than water.
When visiting Israel, the Dead Sea is an unmissable attraction. ISRAERU will introduce the essential points for your visit.
