Stop 1
The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake located between Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It is the lowest point on Earth, with its surface over 430 meters below sea level. The high salt concentration in the water makes it extremely buoyant, and the mineral-rich mud and water are believed to have therapeutic properties. Due to its unique features, the Dead Sea has become a popular tourist destination and a site for scientific research. However, the sea is shrinking at an alarming rate, with water levels dropping by around one meter each year, posing significant environmental and economic challenges to the region.
