The post 3 Surprising Facts About the Dead Sea appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The surface of the Dead Sea is the lowest land point on Earth, located more than 1,400 feet below sea level. As you make your way down, you’ll feel the altitude drop and your ears clog like you do during a flight landing. Oh yes, and there is also a bar by the Dead Sea, making it the lowest bar in the world!
The minerals in the water and mud have incredible healing properties, particularly for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Many people visit the Dead Sea to immerse themselves in its waters and apply the mineral-rich mud – a fun outdoor spa experience.
The Dead Sea is shrinking in size every year. Its water levels have been decreasing due to various factors, including reduced water flowing from the Jordan River. As a result, the Sea is becoming smaller over time. So better visit it while you still have a chance!

]]>Magnesium, lithium, and sulfur are all minerals that help our bodies to function at their best. And they can all be found in a freshwater lake hidden amid the mangroves in Bimini. Accessible only by boat, it is called the Healing Hole. The name says it all, doesn’t it?
At more than 1,400 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea—or Sea of Salt, as it is known by the locals—is the lowest place on earth. Almost ten times saltier than the ocean, it is possible to float in its waters which are known to relieve arthritis and muscle aches. The mud from the Dead Sea is also fantastic for skin conditions like psoriasis. One piece of advice, though: don’t go in the water if you have a cut as all that salt will make it sting!
The Japanese have a concept called shinrin-yoku, AKA “forest bathing”. It involves relaxing in a forest, with none of life’s daily distractions, for the sake of one’s wellness. The forest on Yakushima Island is the perfect place to stroll and just forget about the world. With its breathtaking waterfalls and collection of cedar trees (including the oldest and largest one in the world), it is easy to understand why it served as the inspiration for Princess Mononoke.

]]>The easiest way to get to Jordan is either by plane, flying into Amman or by one of the 3 land crossings from the neighboring country of Israel. Either way, you will probably find yourself in Amman, the capital of Jordan.
Alcohol is hard to find in most cities, but Amman is a huge international city and with plenty of tourists and different cultures, bars and alcohol are more accessible here than anywhere else in the country.
The Amman Citadel and the palace of the Royal Family are two great places to visit in-between visits to the cafes and tasty Middle Eastern street food.
Close to Amman is Mount Nebo, the mountain where, according to the bible, Moses was shown a view of the Promised Land. Churches and plaques line the mountaintop, telling the history of the mountain from different religion’s point of views, while the viewpoint has an incredible view of the Jordan Valley and parts of Israel.
West of Mt. Nebo is the famous Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth. Due to the high salt content, everything floats in the water, and some of the beaches are eerily quiet because almost nothing can live there. The Ma’in hot springs are located close to the Dead Sea as well, and the pools are a great place to relax in the evening.
In the south is Petra, the most visited attraction in Jordan. This archaeological site is a valley that runs through rock formations and can be dated back to the year 300 B.C. Dozens of tour groups leave every day for simple day trips or longer tours, and rightfully so because Petra was named one of the “New 7 Wonders of The World”.
Don’t forget to eat at a hummus shop in any city you visit and make sure to stop off to chat with the local shopkeepers or Bedouin farmers. Jordanians are known for their hospitality, so chances are you will be offered many cups of delicious, freshly ground coffee every day!

]]>The Dead Sea was formed when the Earth’s crust was stretched because of a rift. The surface sank down and that’s why it’s at such a low point.
According to scientists, the Dead Sea may be sinking more and more each year, so if you want to see it in person do it now.
The Dead Sea is also known as the biggest free spa in the world, thanks to its high mineral content, a high percentage of salt, and health benefits of the water.
There are no creatures that can survive in this salty water, animals or plants, except some bacteria that have recently been discovered.
