Arab Weather - The Dead Sea is one of the greatest natural wonders in the world, as it is the lowest spot on Earth, about 427 meters below sea level. This unique place attracts tourists from all over the world, as it provides an unparalleled recreational and therapeutic experience, as visitors can enjoy the sun and swim in the warm salty waters that enhance relaxation thanks to their high salinity, which is ten times the salinity of regular sea water.
The Dead Sea has a unique composition of minerals such as magnesium, sodium, potassium and bromine, making it an ideal destination for natural healing. In addition, the Dead Sea air has a higher oxygen content than any other area in the world, enhancing the health benefits for visitors. The Dead Sea has long been a historical destination for healing, with King Herod and Queen Cleopatra visiting it to benefit from its therapeutic waters.
The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ, known as Al-Maghtas , is located 9 km north of the Dead Sea and is one of the most important religious and historical sites in the world. The site holds profound significance as the place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. Al-Maghtas contains ruins dating back to the Roman and Byzantine eras and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
