The sea known for its high salt content is the Dead Sea. Located between Jordan and Israel, it is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, with a salinity of over 300 parts per thousand, which is about ten times saltier than most oceanic waters. The high salt concentration allows people to effortlessly float on its surface. The Dead Sea is often visited for its therapeutic properties, as its mineral-rich waters and mud are believed to have health benefits for skin conditions and overall well-being. Despite its name, it supports unique microbial life.
