Deep in the Jordan Valley and 55 km southeast of Amman, is the Dead Sea, one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the whole world. It is the lowest body of water on earth, the lowest point on earth, and the world's richest source of natural salts, hiding wonderful treasures that accumulated throughout thousands of years.
The sunset touching distant hills with ribbons of fire across the waters
of the Dead Sea brings a sense of unreality to culminate a day's visit
to this region.
And because the salt content is four times
that of most world's oceans, you can float in the Dead Sea without even
trying, which makes swimming here a truly unique experience not to be
missed.
Scientifically speaking, its water contains more than 35 different types
of minerals that are essential for the health and care of the body skin
including Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Sulfur, and Iodine.
They are well known for relieving pains and sufferings caused by
arthritis, rheumatism, psoriasis, eczema, headache and foot-ache, while
nourishing and softening the skin.
