Mar Muertu

El Mar Muertu, compartíu ente Israel y Xordania, trátase del mar más saláu del mundu; ye, de fechu, nueve vegaes más saláu que los océanos, tien perdíos 24 metros de nivel nos caberos cincuenta años, y considérase que va continuar evaporándose. La so superficie ye anguaño de 635 km2.

Nómase-y Mar "Muertu" dao que'l so nivel de sal media torga que seres vivos habiten nél, salvo nel casu de dellos microbios. La so concentración de sal ye tan grande que ye imposible fundise nes sos agües, y tou cuerpu que s'echa nél flota como corchu, carauterística que lu convierte nuna importante atraición turística. Por esto tamién se-y conocía al escomencipiu de la historia como "Mar Saláu".

El Mar Muertu asítiase a 416 metros baxo'l nivel de la mar, siendo la más baxa de toles estensiones d'agua del planeta. Nun desemboca n'océanu, y d'otra miente la so avanzada seca alloñó les costes, en delles porciones, al puntu de que'l barru que prevalez torga'l pasu humanu. Ye común alcontrar a los turistes flotando nes agües pámpana arriba demientres lleen el diariu, un ritual clásicu que faen los visitantes qu'aporten fasta ellí.

Worth visiting ❤️ I couldn't believe it when I floated ???? !! The mud is so good for your skin, don't skip mudding ???? I highly recommend Dead Sea for short holidays (2 - 4 days) ! Stay in Mariott

Just before the northernmost checkpoint on Hwy 1, pull into the parking lot on the left, hop over the barricade on the right, walk down to the sea and a fresh water spring. Perfect spot for your dip.

The places where you can enjoy relaxing in Dead sea without paying huge amount of money are getting short... Try small not official road northside from Ein Gedi Hot Spring resort. Park and walk down.

Hard to talk about someplace that has so much history around the area. Swam/floated in the Sea on Dec. 28 and had a great time. Another bucket list place marked off.

Salt can ruin everything but a must-visit. No life & buoyancy make it safe but be careful of tides. Water shoes recommended unless you're ok with wearing communal shoes ☀️
