Dead Sea ים המלח Herbet 2007
The Dead Sea (Arabic: البحر الميت‎, Hebrew: ים המלח‎) is the Earth's lowest point not covered by water, at 418 m (1371 feet) below sea level and falling, and the deepest hypersaline lake in the world, at 330 m (1083 feet) deep. It is the second saltiest body of water on Earth, with a salinity of about 30 percent. Only Lake Asal (Djibouti) has a higher salinity. This is about 8.6 times greater than average ocean salinity. It measures 67 km (42 miles) long, 18 km (11 miles) wide at its widest point, and is located on the border between the West Bank, Jordan, and Israel, and lies in the Jordan Rift Valley. The main tributary is the Jordan River.

The Dead Sea has attracted interest and visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. It was a place of refuge for King David, one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of products as diverse as balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers
