About Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth's surface at around 430 meters below sea level and one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena on our planet. With a salt concentration of over 30 percent - ten times higher than that of the ocean - every visitor can effortlessly float on the surface, a surreal experience that one should have at least once in a lifetime. German travelers often combine the Dead Sea with a tour of Jordan and enjoy the healing effects of the mineral-rich mud and water after desert hikes in Wadi Rum and the rock city of Petra. The Jordanian side offers luxurious wellness resorts right on the shore, while the dramatic desert landscape with its ochre cliffs and blazing sun creates an almost unreal backdrop. Here, geological sensation meets oriental hospitality.
