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.

ALL GUIDES AND RESEARCH
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.
READ THE SCIENCEAbout ten times ocean salinity. One sea.
Dead Sea brine contains about 340 g/L of dissolved salts, roughly ten times ocean salinity. Chloride, magnesium, sodium, calcium, and potassium are the major ions; concentrations vary over time and by sampling location. Source: Khlaifat et al., 2010.

If you guessed the Dead Sea on my last post, you got it!
This was what I was heading toward, and waking up to this view the next morning made the drive more than worth it.
Sunrise over the Dead Sea.
The water was almost perfectly still, the mountains across the way were silhouetted against the morning sky, and everything had that golden glow.
I’ve been fortunate to wake up in some pretty incredible places over the years.
This one is definitely on the list.
And for everyone who guessed on the last post... did you get it right? 😂
