The Dead Sea is geologically part of the Rift Valley system. The principal source of the Dead Sea is the Jordan River, and a few other streams also flow into it. There is no natural outlet for the lake, and evaporation of its' water causes a high content of salt, about 6 times more than ocean water. There is no life in the lake.
Qumran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found, is located near the Dead Sea. The Israeli national monument of Masada is nearby.
Because of the extremely high concentration of dissolved mineral salts in the water its density is much greater than that of fresh water. This makes our human bodies more buoyant in the Dead Sea, so that you will float like a cork when trying to swim in the water. Tourists love to try floating in the Dead Sea and when you go there you must give it a try.
The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Biblically, it was a place of refuge for King David and it was a health resort for Herod the Great.
At 1,378 feet below sea level, its shores are the lowest point on Earth on dry land. It is 1,083 feet deep. It is also the second saltiest body of water in the world.
The easy way to get to Jerusalem, is to fly into the Ben Gurion International Airport. The airport is close to Jerusalem, which is about 5 miles away.
The Ben Gurion International Airport, (IATA: TLV, ICAO: LLBG), also referred to by its Hebrew acronym Natbag, is the largest and busiest international airport in Israel. It was named the best airport in the Middle East by the ACI organisation.[
The airport is located near the city of Lod, 15 km (9 mi) southeast of Tel Aviv. It is operated by the Israel Airports Authority, a government-owned corporation that manages all public airports and border crossings in the State of Israel.
The Ben Gurion International Airport is considered one of the world's most secure airports, with a security force that includes both police officers and IDF soldiers.
There are several hotels in or near Jerusalem.
There are several Guided Tour Agencies offering standard city, and historical tours of Jerusalem, Israel and the surrounding areas.
After arranging your flight we would suggest getting your hotel and then letting them arrange tours of the area for you. If you call the hotels Concierge Services ahead of your arrival, all of this can be pre-arranged for you.
I do this all the time. It is safe and it works!!! I have never experienced a problem doing it this way!
