Jordan - Floating in the Dead Sea

Image
          The Dead Sea is not just a place to go for a swim and sunbath. It’s an EXPERIENCE you cannot miss in Jordan. Actually, I could not even swim here.  It’s so salty that, if you try to lay on your stomach to swim, your bottom will rise so high that you might hurt your neck while trying to keep your face out of the water 😅 . Beach view           From Jordan you can see Israel just on the other side of the sea. It has a width of only 15 km and it is located at the lowest altitude in the World. There are people who swam from a side to the other (maybe on their backs, considering my own experience). Israel view           The Dead Sea is also called “The Sea of the Dead” because its salinity is so high that no living thing can actually live there. It is 10 times more salty than the water in the oceans, making it impossible to dive in it. In fact, it’s just a lake, but salty 🧂.  ...
