The sea water density gives you unforgetable impression of the water being able to carry you. The overall impression can be spoiled if you spill drop of water in your eyes. Even there are fresh water sources inside the sea, it might be a challenge to reach them. Beware!

I would love to visit the Dead Sea. I love to swim, and the dead sea is supposed to be one of the greatest and cleanest bodies of water available. One of the places Im definetely visiting one day.

Each region has their treasure [Asia: The Great Wall, Latin-America: Rio de Janeiro, North America: New York, Africa: the Egyptian pyramids, Europe: Krakow/Kitsbühl]. Middle East's greatest treasure is the Dead Sea! :-)

how can you rate an incredible natural phenomenon?? a very invigorating and amazing experience. the burn on the skin due to the high salt content is worth it just DO NOT let your babies go in the water--it is tempting and fun to float effortlessly but all the children i have seen enter have left the sea screaming and flailing in pain!

Very cool. Make sure you don't shave the morning before you go and bring a newspaper and a camera.
