Since Monday evening we are staying in Amman and did some nice daytrips. We went to the Dead Sea for some hours, quite funny to swim in this water. After you feel like a crunchy salt fish.
The Dead Sea is 427 metres below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land and is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, though Lake. It is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot live.
The Dead Sea seawater makes swimming similar to floating, and we really enjoyed this feeling. As we did not want to spend money at a resort, we went to the public beach. There your are not allowed to swim in a bikini, even shorts and T-shirts are not allowed. So we went there and swam with our clothes, not that comfortable but it was an experience.
Unfortunately the beach of the locals is really dirty and it seem that nobody care about it. Shame for this nature heritage.
