About this ebook
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.
