The Sea of Dead

             The Dead Sea is also known as the Salt Sea because it is 33.7 percent salt. It is also about 8 times more saltier than the oceans. It borders Jordan and Israel. In fact, there is so much salt that you can actually float on your back because the salt could hold you up. It is about 1,400 feet below sea level. It is also over 1,000 feet deep making it the deepest salt water lake in the world! So if you were a tourist, Then would you want to vacation at the Dead Sea?

  1. If I was a tourist then I would for sure want to visit the dead sea. I heard the the dad seas mud helps you in may different way is it true? What if a really fat person like a person that's over 600 pounds goes to the dead sea would they still be able to float? Or wold they just drown.
