The Dead Sea is an unbelievable wonder; the Earth's lowest elevation on land, actually more than 1,000 feet below sea level. People travel to Jordan in the middle east to effortlessly float in its waters- you actually float with out trying. It's nearly 10 times saltier than any other body of water on Earth giving natural buoyancy and rich minerals to relax and rejuvenate not only you, but you're skin, too. The Dead Sea's ancient history is also a major attraction. Its life-span has been traced back to over 2,000 years ago, the days of Herod the Great. Beyond the Dead Sea, is an area with swimming pools and and changing rooms; a perfect spot for parties and events.
