The Dead Sea is so salty, almost ten times saltier than any ocean, that no fish or plant can live in it, which explains why it is called the Dead Sea. Bordered by Israel and Jordan, the Dead Sea is located 1,300 feet below sea level, making it the lowest place on earth! Even if you can't swim, you'll never sink in the Dead Sea because the large amount of salt and other minerals make the water so dense you just bob on the surface like a cork. Many visitors to the Dead Sea rub themselves with the salt or cover their bodies with the black mud, which are said to be good for relieving skin ailments and arthritis.
