  Take the opportunity to relax, as there are few places better for it than the lowest point on Earth: the Dead Sea. Known as one of the world’s true natural wonders, this remarkable body of water is fed by several rivers that flow into its land-locked shores. The waters have no outlet, so they evaporate, leaving behind a high concentration of natural salt that gives the Dead Sea its famous buoyancy.
