Short Visit to Dead Sea at Jordan (J9/10)

 

Hearing so much about how salty the Dead Sea are... sounds just not right. Aren't sea water at else where not salty?πŸ˜‚ 

Located along the Jordan Rift Valley and bordering Israel (seen at the background of the photo). There are many resorts setting up along both sides of the sea. You may choose to access the beach by resort (need to pay) or find a public spot (free but no access to changing room or shower facilities). You may use public beach if you have your own vehicle to act as changing room and brough alone some fresh water to wash up.
Salt formation on the beach. The salt/minerals here are much higher compare to other sea that make this place so special and beneficial.
Since salt are heavier than water, that make us more buoyant and able to float on water easily.


No, don't expect a white sandy beach. Instead rock or salt formation is what you will see here.

Do you know that this is also the lowest point on earth? My mobile phone show me that I am -427.5m below sea level. Another sense of achievement for been to the lowest point on earth😊
