It is on the border between the West Bank, Israel, and Jordan on the Jordan Rift Valley. This endorheic body of water is the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. The Dead Sea is 67 km long, up to 18 km wide and 799 m below sea level in depth at its deepest point. While the surface elevation of the Dead Sea continues to fluctuate, the Dead Sea valley contains the lowest land point on the face of the earth: an elevation of 394 m (1291 ft) below sea level. The Dead Sea has attracted interest and visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. It was a place of refuge for King David, it was one of the world's first health resorts for Herod the Great, and it has been the supplier of products as diverse as balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers. In Hebrew the Dead Sea is called the Yam ha-Melah meaning "sea of salt", or Yam ha-Mavet - meaning "sea of death". In past times it was the "Eastern Sea" or the "Sea of Arava". In Arabic the Dead Sea is called Al Bahr al Mayyit meaning "the Dead Sea", or less commonly Bahr Lut meaning "the Sea of Lot". Historically, another Arabic name was the "Sea of Zoar", after a nearby town. To the Greeks, the Dead Sea was "Lake Asphaltites". A RARE FIND! AND GREAT DECORATION FOR YOUR OFFICE OR DEN WALL.
