The Dead Sea, known in Hebrew as Yam Ha-Melakh (the Sea of Salt), is the lowest point on earth, surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Negev Desert. Its shores are the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and the highly saline water gives the sea its name, as no fish can survive in it. The salt-rich waters of the Dead Sea are famed for their health and healing properties, and they also allow visitors to float effortlessly on the surface.
