The Dead Sea is a salt-filled sea which sits on the border between Israel, Jordan and Palestine.
It is 31 miles (50 km) long and 9 miles (15 km) wide at its widest point. It is one of the world's saltiest bodies of water. At 997 feet (304 metres) deep, it is the deepest hypersaline lake in the world.
Fed by the Jordan River and rainfall of only 4 inches (10 cm) a year, it is slowly evaporating away.
Here are some fun facts about this ancient body of water.
Do you know:
Why are there no fish in the Dead Sea?
Where did the Dead Sea get its salt?
Why can only two of the three countries bordering the Dead Sea mine its salt?
How long has salt been mined in the Dead Sea?
Who built the first health spa at the Dead Sea?
