The lowest spot on earth, and a natural health spa, the Dead Sea is one site you don't want to miss! The surface of the Dead Sea is over 1,300 feet below sea level. The very bottom of the sea, in the deepest part, is over 2,300 feet below sea level. The Dead Sea has some of the most saline water on earth; as much as 35% of the water is dissolved salts. That's almost 6 times as salty as the ocean. The Dead Sea is completely landlocked and it gets saltier with increasing depth.
