Bathers float effortlessly on this salty inland “sea” (technically a lake) bordering Israel, Jordan and the West Bank.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This site is a popular spot for rest and rejuvenation on many of our Israel tours and Jordan tours. At 1400 feet below sea level, the lowest land elevation on earth, this salt lake forms part of the border between Israel and Jordan and the West Bank and Jordan. Water flows into the lake from Lake Kinneret (aka the Sea of Galilee) but there is no outlet. As water evaporates from the lake, high concentrations of minerals are left behind in thewater and mud. Because of the extremely low elevation, the barometric pressure around the lake is the highest on earth, the level of oxygen in the air is exceptionally high, there are practically no allergens and the filtration of ultraviolet rays from the sun is very high.
\nThe area has been known for its healing properties for millennia, and to this day, the unique climactic and mineral properties found here are used in therapies for conditions such as psoriasis, arthritis and cystic fibrosis.<\/p>\n

The lake is only an hour-drive from Jerusalem and combines perfectly with sites like Masada, Qumran (where the famous ancient scrolls<\/strong> (hint!) were discovered), and Ein Gedi, all in the immediate area. In Jordan, the lake is about an hour from Amman and within 30 minutes of Mt. Nebo, Madaba, Bethany Beyond the Jordan and Lot’s Cave.<\/p>\n
