The Dead Sea sits in the Syrian-African Rift Valley, a geographical
fault that stretches south to East Africa and occupies a remarkable
landscape of rose-colored cliffs, pillars of salt billowing from the
water, and the peaks of Jordan in the distance. But at 1,373 feet below
sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the entire planet. The
beaches here are not for tourists looking to frolic in Riviera-like
fashion; the copious level of saline makes the water too dense for
swimming. Instead, you just float, naturally and effortlessly, while the
water's 21 minerals—including sulfur, magnesium, calcium, bromine, and
potassium—are said to promote relaxation, nourish the skin, and
stimulate circulation. |
