Instructions:
Risk of smoothing: Due to the grease of the Dead Sea water, it is easy to slip there, stumble or lose balance.
Swallowing seawater: When you are floating or moving from lying on your back to standing position, you may swallow or aspire to the digestive or respiratory tracts. The penetration of seawater into the respiratory tract can cause severe and rapid complications that will affect lung and respiratory function.
Sinkholes: A phenomenon in which unexpected pits in the area’s soil suddenly open.
Open wounds: If you have an open wound, the salty water can cause irritation and a burning sensation.
Swimming in the sea: The heavy sea water causes buoyancy, activates force against body weight and makes it difficult to swim.
Dangers in the area: It is very dangerous to travel in the closed areas for travelers, or to swim on undeclared beaches or beaches without a lifeguard.
The cliff: Care must be taken to stay at the foot of the cliff and not to sleep near it.
Suntan lotion: When staying at sea, make sure to apply suntan lotion to your body.
Entrance rims: When entering the sea, use the entrance rims located at the entrances to the water.
Water splashing: very dangerous. Avoid water splashing at the Dead Sea. The high level of salinity is dangerous to the eyes and can cause burns.
Avoid burns: It is recommended to go with flip flops. Walking with bare feet on the hot stones or sand can cause burns.
Children: Never leave children unattended under any circumstances. The salt water and floating effect in the Dead Sea along with the sweeping seawater are very dangerous for the children.

The Dead Sea is ranked fourth in the world, in the scale of salt lakes. The difference between the Dead Sea and those that bypass, it is less than 2 percent.
There is only one small lake located in Antarctica, where the salinity level is much higher. And apparently it is not in the salinity hierarchy because it is so small.
The high salinity level indicates a higher mass of material much more than other water lakes. Density – as is known – is mass material.
When we put into the water a body that is heavier than the water, the body sinks and squeezes the water out.
If the body density is the same as the density of the liquid, it will displace exactly the same amount of water, so the body will be submerged to the top but will not sink.
And most importantly, let’s enjoy the Dead Sea, the magical place relaxed and of course also healthy.
Enjoy.

This name was given to him for two reasons. One reason is that the Dead Sea has no outlet, and the water that drains into it remains in place and does not move on. The second reason is that the high salinity of the water, which allows almost no life forms. In recent years, it has been proven that there are life forms at the Dead Sea, but this is a small matter compared to other sources of water.
