Biblically known as the Sea of the Arabah (The Salt Sea), its mineral content is so high that nothing lives in it. With a salt concentration many times higher than that of the world's oceans, the density of the water is so much higher that anyone can float in it.
We spent a whole afternoon at the Dead Sea and had so much fun! Some of us floated gracefully in the sea with our hats while reading. Some of us flopped around less gracefully while losing our slippers to the muddy slime underfoot. And most of us smeared ourselves with mud in vain hope that the unique concentration minerals would make us look beautiful. All I can say to that is HA! HA!
