The Dead Sea, Jordan
In January I was lucky enough to visit the Dead Sea whilst in Jordan.. it has always been on my bucket list so I was so glad when I finally got to cross it off!
At approximately 8.6 times more saltier than the ocean it is super easy to kick back and relax as floating takes absolutely zero effort from you!
Also because of the high salinty no animals can live in it hence the name "Dead" Sea.
Another interesting fact is, it is the lowest point on earth at roughly 400m below sea level!
Unfortunately the Dead Sea is shrinking each year because of evapouration so if this on your list try and see it as soon as you can :)
That's a pity that it shrinking
Sure is!...they are trying to come up with ways to rejuevnate and preserve it though so hopefully they are successful in doing so!

Cool photos. I haven’t been there, but it’s high on my travel list. Hmm, seems I have to hurry up before it disappears! :)
They are trying to come up with ways to conserve it and help counteract the evapouration so hopefully it won't disappear!... but def go sooner rather than later because it is amazing :)
