Creator's Key Takeaways

the salt and mineral content in the Dead Sea is so high that nothing can live in it and you cannot sink in it because your body is not uh or because the water is denser than the water in your body

you can personalize your Excursion to concentrate on exactly what you want to see and if you get seven people together to split the cost it's way less than the ship excursions

my mom who can't swim at all she would be fine here because there's absolutely no way to to sink

it's supposed to be amazing for your skin and now you're supposed to go sit on the beach and let it dry

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hire a private tour guide for personalized excursions
Split costs with others to save money
Avoid getting Dead Sea water in your eyes or swallowing it
Rub mud on your body after swimming for skin benefits

YouTube Video Description

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and it's in the middle of the desert between Israel and Jordan. We were there to go swimming for a few hours in the middle of our 2 week "Holy Land" tour on the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas. www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides Twitter @MrMorganOBrien
