Floating in the Dead Sea is an experience that you just can't miss if you're traveling to Jordan

And we're driving the Dead Sea Highway to find a spot to take a dip

Welcome to the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea. Though the name sounds fatal and it's true there are no fish swimming here
0:28
This water is rich in minerals, which are thought to have curative properties
0:32
which is why people have been coming here to float for thousands of years
0:36
You don't have to worry about a life preserver here. But don't try to swim either
0:43
Just relax and float away. Now, if you have any small cuts, you're going to feel some pain

Ladies, I recommend not shaving for a day or two before you take the plunge

The Dead Sea is about ten times. is about 10 times saltier than the ocean
0:59
and that salt will sting. But with the yin comes the yang
1:04
Even the mud here is good for you, helping with everything from arthritis to wrinkles
1:09
which is why you'll see people lathering it on and then baking a bit before heading in
1:14
If you like to enjoy your spa treatments outdoors, the Dead Sea is a good place to do it
