The Lowest Place on Earth - The Dead Sea

We are at the lowest place on earth-1,300 feet below sea level to be exact. The water is beautiful, calm and loaded with salt; 33% to be exact. The minerals and black mud from the sea are supposed to be the best thing for your skin, so we coated up and then went into the salty water to scrub it off. I thought it was just about one of the most disgusting things I have ever done!

You cannot sink in the water. You just sit there
and float. These pictures were take outside our hotel. Now for a person terrified of fish, this is the perfect place to go into the water. Absolutely nothing is living!

Our hotel was basically carved into the mountain side. It is all rocky and dusty on the outside, but plush and lovely inside. All hotels are made of cinder block, cement, or other gray stucco looking stuff. No real lumber nearby.
