"Salty"
The Dead Sea lies in the Jordan Riff Valley with Israel and Palestine to the west and Jordan to the east. it is 50 kilometres long and 15 kilometres wide and has a density of 1.24 kilograms per litre so you float rather than swim. The floor of the sea is usually salt crust so you need good shoes if you enter the salty water and a good shower afterwards. The closest point is the resort s in the Jordan valley about 50 kilometres from Amman Airport. There are a number of good hotels, one of which is the

SECURITY
The hotel has strict security and along the roads you will be stopped occasionally at road blocks by the military and your car will be searched. The driver was reliable and knew the locals and provided safe and secure transport in a reasonably comfortable car.
