The Dead Sea, located in the Middle East, is a super salty lake bordered by Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. It's famous for being the lowest point on Earth's land surface, sitting at 1,443 feet below sea level. With its ultra-salty water, it's like a natural float tank where swimming feels more like floating. Despite its harsh environment that doesn't support much life, the Dead Sea has been a popular destination for tourists seeking its therapeutic benefits and unique landscape.
