At the very lowest point on earth lies a natural wonder replete with a unique ecosystem, breathtaking desert views, and mineral treasures that have been attracting visitors for thousands of years: The Dead Sea. Located in the desert in southern Israel, it is also the world’s deepest hypersaline lake.
The Dead Sea is located at the lowest point on earth, which is thought to be the result of volcanic processes leading to a continuous dropping of land. It is one of the four saltiest bodies of water in the world. These special conditions are an outcome of its extreme geomorphological structure alongside a harsh desert climate. These create constant dramatic changes that form a landscape that is different from any other in the world. Also, the unique mineral content of the air, land, and water in the area is globally renowned for its therapeutic qualities, as is evident in that it has been a health resort for thousands of years.
Until the end of the 1960s, the Jordan River was the only major water source flowing into the Dead Sea, although there are small perennial springs under and around the lake, forming pools and quicksand pits along its edges.
In various languages, the Dead Sea is referred to by different names, all reflective of its characteristics. The earliest known name is recorded in the Hebrew Bible, where it is referred to as “the Salt Sea”, due to its significantly high salt content. In the later Roman era, salt was a very highly valued commodity - Roman soldiers were paid in salt rather than money! This is also the source of the Latin word “salary”, which comes from “salt”.
The Dead Sea is globally renowned for the therapeutic effect of the minerals in its waters and mud, which are especially high in concentration. Dead Sea minerals in the water and mud have helped improve various skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and acne.
With its very first origins in sea water flooding into the valley from the Mediterranean, some of what makes the Dead Sea salty is the gradual evaporation of water over the years, due to the desert climate. Its salt content is derived from the erosion of rocks on land, with their salt ions driven by rivers into the landlocked lake. Its extremely low elevation means that water cannot escape the Dead Sea once it enters, and exposed to the intense heat, the water evaporates more quickly, leading to an intense salinity.
One of the main must-do activities on all tourists’ lists is floating in the Dead Sea. Because of the high concentration of salt, the water is much denser than plain fresh water, meaning that our body weight is lighter - which causes us to float!

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information.

Lake Ashphaltites, Salt Sea, Dead Sea, Sea of the Plain, Lake of Lot.
as mentioned in
Josephus
Chapter IX page 33.
mentions this lake.
When you swim in the sea your skin is stimulated and nourished easing joint ailments, relaxing the nerves and stimulating the circulation system. The saline density prohibits the body from sinking so that you can relax (mentally and physically) while floating on the water. - Thanks For Sharing And God Bless You......
I do not recommend you to swim in the Dead sea. There is no way to stand up since the salty water is pushing your feet upward.
The dead sea looks so inviting. I wonder how if it would help my back any. I have used the mud masks from the dead sea. It feels amazing on my skin.
Twenty years ago I visited Israel and floated in the Dead Sea. It was so much fun I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you for the memories, Zahi.
First seek our father in heaven and his justice and everything will be added godbless everyone amen
...wonder if the retreating sea has uncovered any interesting artifacts?
Not that I know
Oh a mud bath, now how healthy is that ? Thank you.
Very healthy
WOW so amazing to put that Mud on your skin
Thank you brother z. I have never seen the Dead Sea before although I have bought the mud at the mall once. This must be the area where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered. I dont know. Lord bless you always. Praying that I can see beautiful Dead Sea soon. Praying that water will increase.
thanks. in summr of 68 we took a bus frm our kibbustz yifat at nazareth down to th dead sea fo a swim in th salty watr. we didn t see any bones frm sodom an gomorra
❤️💜💚😸😸
Oh! Are you saved and born-again??
I'm ok as I am. Thanks
@@zahishaked
Alright, but tomorrow is not guaranteed.
@@zahishaked You say you're ok, that's what everyone who lives for the world says.
I do not mind that you are a Jew, but do not forget that God made covenant with Abraham and promised to save 12,000 of each tribes and these are virgins.
You should talk to Amir Tsarfati, Behold Israel. he was from the tribe of Judah and is now Born Again Christian.
But just like God, I do not force anyone, I do not want anyone to go throw 7 years of tribulation.
My question to you is that is it true people saying, you can see Lot's wife figure as a pillar of salt at the dead sea? Thank you
The is 2 salt rocks that used to say that it's Lot's wife. One in Israel. The other one is in Jordan. If it's true - I'm not sure
I don't see any difference between Dead Sea and normal seas like how people say you float way more on Dead Sea. And I mean I can float while reading a paper on a normal sea.
The only way to understand the difference is to in it.
I'm muslim can a came to holy land?
20% of Israel's residents are Muslims. Anyone can enter Israel except citizens of countries that boycott Israel
@@zahishaked i'm from Indonesian idk about that
dead sea is dying.......do jordan have anything bout this
Every one in that area is responsible for it
Death is dying? Sounds like Jesus might be coming back soon.
