Let yourself float
At about 340 g/L of dissolved salts, the Dead Sea’s density of about 1.24 g/mL makes it unusually buoyant. Do not try to swim; keep each immersion brief and follow posted safety guidance.

COMPLETE GUIDE Why is it called the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea water surface was 441.16 meters below mean sea level on 1 August 2026. This is a dated surface-elevation measurement, not the lake's water depth. Its brine contains about 340 g/L of dissolved salts and has a density of about 1.24 g/mL, which makes floating unusually easy.
READ THE COMPLETE GUIDE
GEOLOGY Mount Sodom: A Mountain Made Entirely of Salt
Rising 250 meters above the southern Dead Sea shore, Mount Sodom is a halite diapir composed almost entirely of crystalline salt. One of the few such formations accessible to visitors anywhere on Earth.
READ THE GUIDE
SCIENCE Is There Life in the Dead Sea? What Science Has Found
No fish. No seaweed. Yet under certain conditions, halophilic archaea and the microalga Dunaliella emerge in concentrations visible from the shore as a reddish bloom, one of Earth's most extreme living systems.

Floating somewhere below sea level… literally.
DEAD SEA🧂🌊 One of the most unique experiences we had in Jordan !
Swimming around 430 meters below sea level, its incredibly salty water makes you float effortlessly.
👯♀️A little mud, a lot of salt, and definitely a bucket-list experience. ✨

The Dead Sea lies at the lowest point on Earth, 400 meters below sea level. It is so far away from the sun that harmful UV rays do not reach it. Although it is hotter than higher elevations, its position at the lowest point on Earth offers more than a salty dip and a hot sea. The air has a higher oxygen concentration in this area and its mineral rich properties bring people from all over the world who are suffering from various types of skin diseases, rheumatism and i didn’t require drugs for my hips for a full 24 hours! I felt like I had extra virgin olive oil on my skin, it felt fabulous #deadsea
The Dead Sea holds a world record that most travelers don’t realize…
It is the lowest point on Earth’s land surface — about 430 meters (1,410 feet) below sea level.
You can literally float in water that’s lower than the ocean floor.
Would you visit the lowest place on land?

December 2022.
For my birthday, a friend gave me a plane ticket. A few weeks later, I was in Jordan.
I started in Amman. A city full of movement, with its steep streets, taxis, markets, shops and constant traffic. I liked walking around without having a particular destination and simply watching everyday life in the city.
Then Petra. The Siq was my first experience of the site: a long, narrow gorge surrounded by rock walls. And then, almost suddenly, the Treasury appears. But the Treasury is only the beginning. Petra is huge. There are tombs, temples, stairways, paths and the Monastery, which you reach after a long climb.
During the trip, I also had the chance to explore Mount Nebo. From there, the landscape changes completely: mountains, desert and, in the distance, the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea struck me for its landscape and for the very strange feeling of getting into the water and barely being able to sink.
For me, Jordan was a true gem, not only for its beauty, but also for the smiles, kindness and simplicity of the people I met.
A place I would like to see again.

Per il mio compleanno un’amica mi regalò un biglietto aereo. Qualche settimana dopo ero in Giordania.
Ho iniziato da Amman. Una città piena di movimento, con le strade in salita, i taxi, i mercati, i negozi e il rumore del traffico. Ho adorato camminare senza avere una meta precisa e perdermi nella vita della città.
Poi Petra. Il Siq è stato il primo incontro con il sito: una lunga gola stretta tra le rocce. E poi, quasi all’improvviso, compare il Tesoro, che non è che l’inizio. Petra è enorme. Ci sono tombe, templi, scalinate, sentieri e il Monastero, che si raggiunge dopo una lunga salita.
Durante il viaggio ho avuto anche modo di esplorare il Monte Nebo. Da lassù il paesaggio cambia completamente: montagne, deserto e, in lontananza, il Mar Morto, che mi ha colpita per il paesaggio e per la sensazione stranissima di entrare in acqua e non riuscire quasi ad affondare.
La Giordania è una vera gemma, non solo per la sua bellezza, ma anche per i sorrisi, la gentilezza e la semplicità delle persone che ho incontrato.

Washing your hair more often isn’t always the answer. 👀

🌿 deeper cleansing
💧 fresher-feeling roots
✨ less heavy-looking hair
🫧 removal of excess oil and buildup
🤍 clean, lightweight finish
Because your hair-care routine shouldn’t start with your ends.
It should start with your scalp.
