The Dead Sea is a peculiar lake. The lake is found 420 meters under sea level. It’s therefore the lowest place on earth. The water is highly salinized, 31,5% to be precise. That means there is no high-ranking life in the lake. Also, you can’t sink in, so you can walk in the water.
Ein Gedi
In the mountains above the Dead See is the nature park Ein Gedi located. Ein Gedi is an oasis in the desert. There are wild animals in the park and around the park there are diverse trails where you can go around and see the beautiful waterfalls.
