The opportunity to swim in the Dead Sea came after our lunch at Ein Bokek. You float very high in the water - your feet are almost totally on top of the water. The mineral content of the Dead Sea is 34%. There is no life in the Sea - animal or plant. The life guard kept yelling at people to stay on their back. If you try to swim on your stomach, you could drown in the water that is too salty to ingest as you try to get your feet on the bottom and cannot as your head goes down into the water. You float on top with absolutely NO effort!
