Dead Sea in lay man's language can be termed as "a natural meditation
hub". Dead sea is coming out to be
a boon for medical industry due to its mineral content of the water, the very
low content of pollens and other allergens in the atmosphere, the reduced
ultraviolet component of solar radiation, and the higher atmospheric pressure
at this great depth each have specific health effects.
Dead sea is 377 m (1,237 ft) deep, and the surface and shores of the Dead
Sea are 423 meters (1,388 ft) below sea level and is 67 kilometers (42 mi) long
and 18 kilometers (11 mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift
Valley and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
As a matter of fact, dead sea is the world saltiest bodies of water with
aprox. 34% salinity.
It is widely said that “no one can drown in dead sea”, as enormous amount
of salt presence in water, makes people
easily float in the Dead Sea due to natural resilience. The hardness of water
does not allow any plants and animals to flourish in the sea though minuscule
quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present.
The history of the Dead Sea says, it was discovered in Biblical period,
which was a valley full of natural tar pits, that was called the vale of Siddim.
And in Greek and Roman period it was one of the world’s first health resorts
(for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of
products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers.
Dead Seas –
Jorden offers such a variety of spots to visit other that Dead Sea itself also,
for example, : Amman, the
capital of Jordan, is an entrancing city of complexities – a one of a kind mix
of old and new, preferably arranged on an uneven territory between the desert
and the fruitful Jordan Valley. The downtown zone is much more established and
more conventional with littler organizations creating and offering everything
from breathtaking adornments to regular family unit things.
Petra, the world
marvel, is beyond question Jordan's most profitable fortune and most prominent
vacation destination. It is a boundless, extraordinary city, cut into the sheer
shake face by the Nabataeans, an enterprising Arab individuals who settled here
over 2000 years back, transforming it into an essential intersection for the
silk, flavor and other exchange courses that connected China, India and
southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. Albeit much has been
composed about Petra, nothing truly sets you up for this stunning spot. It must
be seen to be accepted.
