Най-ниската открита точка на сушата са бреговете на Мъртво море. Ако преди това посетиш планината Небо, спускането към Мъртво море преодолява денивелация от над 1000 метра за около 30 мин!

Буци сол кристализират изпод самите вълни, а солеността е 10 пъти по-висока от тази на световния океан и около 18 пъти от тази на Черно море. Температури на въздуха от 20 °С са съвсем нормални през февруари и влизането във водата на практика е възможно целогодишно. И да, можеш да четеш вестник без да потънеш.

За Мъртво море и за още няколко места от моя самостоятелен маршрут в Йордания разказах през пролетта на 2021 г. в списание VOYAGE, който тогава излезе и с авторска снимка на корицата.

At the lowest point on Earth, floating in the Dead Sea with a sunset.. A bucket list dream officially ticked off. 🥹

It’s fascinating how people come here for the mud and water to help with skin conditions. It’s also the lowest point on Earth you can reach on land and nothing really lives in the water because it’s veeeery salty. Honestly, just one tiny drop in my eye and I was crying! If you go, don’t shave on the day or get in the water with any cuts, you’ve been warned! 😂

A sad story is that unfortunately the Dead Sea is shrinking because of global warming and water shortages.. We actually couldn’t find some of the famous spots I’ve been recommended.

A picturesque sight that is reminiscent of both the Dead Sea and a natural rock salt formation.

The original is a natural rock salt formation perched atop a rugged hill and known to locals as “Lot’s Wife.” It is located on the eastern cliffs of Mount Sodom in Israel and overlooks Highway 90.

Cortito (porque hace sueño). ¿Qué tan brava era la máquina de guerra romana?
Masada es una fortaleza sobre un cerro de cumbre plana, mandada a construir por Herodes I El Grande (el de la matanza de los Inocentes), en el desierto de Judea, muy cerca del mar Muerto. En las fotos se ve algo de lo que queda, unas panorámicas del entorno desde arriba, una maqueta de cómo fue en su época de gloria y el teleférico para subir (la alternativa es un trekking, mortal por lo empinado).
También fue refugio de un grupo de judíos amotinados contra la ocupación romana. Parecía buena idea. El lugar es casi imposible de tomar: tiene paredes prácticamente verticales, de 400 metros por un lado y de casi 150 metros por el otro.
Con algo de experiencia conquistando el mundo, los romanos aplicaron lo que sabían. Primero levantaron un muro que rodeaba todo el cerro, a la vista de los defensores en lo alto, como para “notificarles” que de ahí no iban a salir. Luego construyeron una rampa, moviendo tierra equivalente a un Empire State. Tardaron 4 meses y les sirvió para llegar hasta las paredes mismas. Y por esa pendiente artificial (que todavía existe y se puede ver; impresionante) subieron una torre de asedio que habían fabricado en paralelo. Tenía 30 metros y les permitía quedar a la altura de las defensas de la fortaleza.
Te encargo la pega.
Cuando finalmente lograron entrar en Masada, encontraron a todos los sitiados muertos: se habían suicidado para evitar ser hechos prisioneros y vendidos como esclavos.
Cosas del siglo I después de Cristo.
