At 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth and one of the world's most extraordinary natural phenomena. Its water is 10 times saltier than the ocean, making it impossible to sink — you simply float effortlessly while reading a newspaper. The mineral-rich black mud is world-famous for its therapeutic and cosmetic properties.
