Dead Sea-Israel
For millennia, the salty, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea have drawn visitors and health pilgrims to its shores. But in recent years, Sinkholes have been opening up without warning along its banks,
The Dead Sea is famous for is extreme salinity (34 percent salt, almost 10 times as salty as the ocean), and for having the lowest elevation on Earth, at 429 meters below sea level.
But for the past few decades, the sea has been shrinking rapidly, due to the diversion of water from the Jordan River (which feeds the Dead Sea) , the evaporation and mineral mining from its waters in the south.
The water's surface is currently receding by about 1 m per year.
This short video can be viewed from above in the western region of the Dead Sea and enjoy the stunning views showing the results fall in the water level of the Dead Sea and the formation of sinkholes.

Best advices before visiting the Dead sea
At 428 meters below sea level, and located at Israel’s border with Jordan, the Dead
Sea is earth’s lowest elevation on land and is now officially one the world’s 7 wonders
of nature.
In this video, we’ll show you the need-to-know highlights of the Dead Sea area before
planning to travel there, and if you stick around until the end of the video, you’ll get
some great tips that will help you make better decisions, and have a safe and more
enjoyable trip.
The transfer time from Ben Gurion Airport to the main Hotels location in Ein Bokek is
one hour and 40 minutes. If you plan on spending time in Tel Aviv first, it will take you
up to 2 hours and 30 minutes and if Jerusalem is your starting point, it your transfer will
take around 2 hours.
The best time to travel to the dead sea is during the spring or autumn seasons. During
summer time the temperature can reach as high as 40 degrees Celsius, leaving you
very little time to comfortably enjoy the day time in the red sea and its beautiful
surroundings.
The highlight of a visit to the Dead Sea is the cobalt-blue lake itself, whose waters have
a salt concentration of 34%, around 10 times higher than that of the ocean, making it
possible to float unaided in the water. Diving into this body of water is advised against,
and it is best not to shave right before you enter, or leave any scrapes uncovered. If
you do, you’ll soon find out the true meaning of the phrase “putting salt on the wound”.
The best place to take a dip is Ein Bokek Beach, along the sea's turquoise-hued
southern basin. Recently given a complete makeover, this wide public beach, sandy
and spotless, has lifeguards and offers a variety of free amenities, including shade
shelters, changing booths, open-air showers, a paved promenade and nighttime
lighting. The spas inside Ein Bokek's hotels offer freshwater swimming pools, saunas,
mineral baths, and health and beauty treatments.
If you get tired of all the pampering, take the time to visit Masada, a UNESCO world
heritage site. For those unwilling or unable to undergo
physical exertion, a cable car operates from the Dead Sea side and takes about 3
minutes.
Masada is a fortress built into a mountain that stands as a symbol of heroism and
defiance. Early records indicate that King Herod built it to protect himself from revolts
or external threats, only to be taken over later by Jewish fundamentalists known as the
Sicarii. In 72 AD, the Romans mounted a massive siege of the Masada fort. After
building a whole mountain by muscle force and breaking into the fortress with a
battering ram, they discovered that the 960 inhabitants had committed mass suicide.
Once you are at the top, be sure to wander around the Jewish fortifications and soak
up some ancient history. You will want to visit the massive Northern Palace where the
wall paintings have been restored and provide an intriguing insight into daily life as well
as the culture prevalent under Herod’s rule.
Another Must in the Dead Sea area is one of the region’s most enchanting desert
oases: Ein Gedi nature reserve, which encompasses two spring-fed canyons, Wadi
David and Wadi Arugot, that plunge from the Judean Desert to the shores of the Dead
sea.
A short stream-side walk takes you to year-round waterfalls and freshwater pools
(where swimming is permitted), where you will have a chance to see the fascinating
wildlife, enveloped by lush vegetation. Just make sure you get there early enough, as
the reserve is only open until 4pm.
If you are a bit adventurous & athletic, ask the locals about the Ha’chalon waterfall.
Better start this diverse trail, with stunning views of the reort, in the morning. Highly
recommended!
If you are coming from the north side or leaving in that direction, we advise you to visit
the St George monastery. A half hour drive followed by a half an hour walk will take you
to the best observation point of this magnificent place.
As promised, here is a special tip that will be sure to make your trip more memorable:
Take note that when traveling in the area you should pay attention to the weather in the
Jerusalem area. Almost every time there is rain in the Judean mountains, there are flash
floods which, while a spectacle in themselves, can be inherently dangerous!
If you have a local guide you can find many hot springs and delightful secret treasures
of nature.
Dead Sea - but be careful of sinkholes because the areas near the Dead Sea itself has
the highest numbers of sinkholes in the world.

Dead Sea (Ezekiel) Prophecy Fulfilled ! Israel News! Fish swimming along Dead Sea's shores!
“And it shall come to pass in that day that living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.” Zechariah 14:8 (The Israel Bible™)
Then said he unto me: ‘These waters issue forth toward the eastern region and shall go down into the Arabah; and when they shall enter into the sea into the sea of the putrid waters the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass that every living creature wherewith it swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither that all things be healed and may live whithersoever the river cometh. Ezekiel 47:8-9 (The Israel Bible)
Almost ten times saltier than the ocean, nothing can live in the Dead Sea’s hyper-saline environment – Or so scientists thought until recently. Scientific research has proved the existence of life at the bottom of the sea, but due to a unique set of circumstances, signs of life have begun appearing on its very shores, precisely as it is written in the Book of Prophets in the Bible.
A young woman on a nature hike was shocked recently when she discovered freshwater ponds with fish on the shores of the Dead Sea. Samantha Siegel, a Jewish woman living in Jerusalem, often takes trips to the desert and the ancient body of water. On a recent visit, she encountered an incongruous sight with powerful implications: a prophecy appearing before her eyes that seemed to contradict the laws of nature....

Dead Sea drying up IGEO TV]
The Dead Sea dries, lowering its level at a speed of 0.8-1.2 m per year. The reasons for this phenomenon has been accentuated in recent years are mainly the lack of rainfall and high temperatures and population growth, which brings the flow diversion of the Jordan River with the creation of aqueducts and reservoirs, like the National Aqueduct of Israel. This has led to the creation of wells on the shores of the Dead Sea and the lowering of its level (de-394m in 1960 to -423 in 2012), reducing its area a third of the original. The shuffling solution for this phenomenon is the creation of the Peace Canal, which would provide the necessary water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, measuring 180 miles long and 2 meters high. If it will not put any remedy, it is predicted that in 39 years it can dry completely.

Dead Sea: From world wonder to sinkhole nightmare
Once a tourist attraction and one of the world's first health resorts, the Dead Sea is receding at an alarming rate. Multiple canals and pipelines were proposed to reduce its recession. And though the dangers have been known for years, little has been done on the ground. Some say it could be too late. Let's get started with this report by Maya Margit, on one of the major environmental problems caused by the decline of the Dead Sea - the creation of sinkholes.

Natural wonders - Dead Sea (Jordan/Palestine/Israel)
Natural wonders - Dead Sea
The Dead Sea also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east, and Palestine and Israel to the west. Its surface and shores are 429 metres below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 304 m deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With 34.2% salinity (in 2011), it is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, though Lake Vanda in Antarctica (35%), Lake Assal in Djibouti (34.8%), Lagoon Garabogazköl in the Caspian Sea (up to 35%) and some hypersaline ponds and lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica (such as Don Juan Pond (44%)) have reported higher salinities. It is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 50 kilometres long and 15 kilometres wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
