The Dead Sea – flanking Israel, the West Bank and Jordan – is a lake with high concentration of salt whose banks are more than 400 meters beneath ocean level, the lowest point on dry earth. Its famous therapeutic water makes floating easy, and its mineral-rich dark mud is utilized for cosmetic and therapeutic treatments at area resorts, and products sold world-wide. The surrounding desert offers many oases and historic sites.

Qumran , is an archaeological site situated northwest of the Dead Sea shore on the West Bank and managed by Israel's Qumran National Park. The site was occupied mostly during the Greco-Roman period (ca. 150 BC-68 AD). The community that lived in Qumran is identified with the Essenes people, a religious sect, that lived in isolation in this region west of the Dead Sea. Qumran became well known in 1947, when a Palestinian shepherd discovered in a cave a series of scrolls, which are known today as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
