It’s impossible to drown in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth at 430.5 meters (1412 feet) below sea level. It is a majestic and mysterious looking lake of light turquoise waters with salt crystals jutting out of it.

Surrounded by mountains the water of the Dead Sea is highly saline due to high content of salt it comprises which is approximately nine times as salty as the ocean. Due to its high salinity it stops swimmers from drowning and they instead float on its surface.

Its hyper-salty waters and mineral-rich mud are known for their many health benefits, and many tourists and locals visit its beaches for mud treatments and salt baths.

It’s also Interesting to know that the dead sea is immensely glorified as Al Dai al Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin ^RA and Al Dai al Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin ^RA has blessed its waters by cleansing their Qadam Mubarak. The Dead Sea is undoubtedly amongst the greatest wonders of the world and a place worth visiting for Zaereen.
