The Dead Sea

One of Israel’s most famous landmarks, the Dead Sea is the lowest elevation place on earth and the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. The Dead Sea is not only fun to float in, it is also healthy for your body and is surrounded by breathtaking sceneries.

Masada National Park is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, where some of history’s greatest stories took place. Reaching the top of the rock plateau overlooking the Dead Sea is definitely worth the effort, either by cable car or by hiking.
