Name aside, the Dead Sea is a saltwater lake, and one of the world's saltiest, at that. Set between Jordan, Palestine, and Israel on the Earth's lowest point, it's known for its beautiful clear and tranquil waters (nearly 10 times more saline than the ocean) and surrounding mineral formations, sandy beaches, nature preserves, natural pools, and waterfalls.
