What is the Dead Sea?

     The Dead Sea is a salt lake between the Israel to the west, and Jordan to the east. It is the lowest point on Earth, at 1,378 feet below sea level.  The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity means no macroscopic aquatic organisms such as fish or water plants can live in it, though very tiny amounts of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. Just north of the Dead Sea is Jericho, the oldest continually occupied town in the world.

     The shores of the Dead Sea are actually the lowest point on dry land.  It is 1,083 feet deep, which makes the Dead Sea the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. It is also the world's second saltiest body of water. With 31.5 percent salinity (salt in the water), it is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean, and the human body will actually float on the surface of the water.  The Dead Sea is 42 miles long and 11 miles wide at its widest point. Its main tributary is the Jordan River.

 

The region's climate and the unusual conditions created by the low elevation have made it a popular locale for several types of treatments:

• Climatotherapy: utilizes climatic features such as temperature, humidity, sunshine, barometric pressure and special atmospheric constituents.
• Heliotherapy: utilizes the biological effects of the sun's radiation.
• Thalassotherapy: utilizes bathing in Dead Sea water.
• Balneotherapy: utilizes black mineral mud of the Dead Sea.
