The Dead Sea

The night of our third day of touring was spent at the Dead Sea! For those of you who do not know, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth and it is over 400 meters below sea level. The Dead Sea borders Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. Also, the Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water in the world, so when you are in the water, you float! Trust me when I say you do not want to get that water in your mouth or in your eyes...it burns horribly because of the salt content!

The Dead Sea!

Dead Sea Sand!
