Saltiest water on earth…
Did you know that the Dead Sea is also known as the ‘Salt Sea? Its water is so salty that it makes it impossible for creatures to survive and flourish in this hostile environment. It is therefore a lake that is barren in terms of any aquatic life, but still attracts thousands of tourists every year who enjoy swimming (or rather floating due to the water’s very high density) in these crystal clear blue waters. The Dead Sea has a long religious history with names like Abraham, Moses, David, Ezekiel, and even Jesus associated with it. This famous attraction is over-flowing with history and culture, making the Dead Sea number one on your ‘to visit’ list.
The Healthy Dead Sea…
The Dead Sea is believed by scientists to be full of minerals. It is also said to have the potential to cure many ailments – one of the many reasons why people from remote parts of the world come to the Dead Sea in Jordan to take a dip in the saline waters. ‘Health tourism’, the buzz phrase among the world of social media, pays tribute to a place like the Dead Sea as it attracts tourists due to its perceived health benefits. Potash obtained from the Dead Sea is used to make huge quantities of fertilizers while asphalt obtained from these waters has been used in Egypt for the process of mummification for thousands of years. Minerals from Dead Sea are used by a large amount of cosmetic companies to manufacture herbal beauty and skin care products. There are a number of experts who believe that bathing in the rejuvenating waters of Dead Sea has beneficial effects on many types of skin conditions.
