What Is the Dead Sea? The Complete Guide to the World's Most Extraordinary Body of Water

At 439 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest exposed land surface on Earth. Its salinity reaches 34.2%, nearly ten times that of the ocean, producing a density of 1.24 g/mL that makes it physically impossible to sink. Our most comprehensive guide to everything before you visit.

GEOLOGY

Mount Sodom: A Mountain Made Entirely of Salt

Rising 250 metres 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.

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 SCIENCE

26+ minerals. One sea.

Herod’s Dead Sea Hotel

Herod’s sits in Neve Zohar, a quieter stretch of shoreline wedged between Mount Sodom’s cliffs and direct beach access, away from the concentration of big resort towers. With 223 rooms in a Fattal premium property, it’s meaningfully smaller than the five-star competition in Ein Bokek. The service-to-guest ratio shows. If you want five-star quality without […]
