Let yourself float
At about 340 g/L of dissolved salts, the Dead Sea’s density of about 1.24 g/mL makes it unusually buoyant. Do not try to swim; keep each immersion brief and follow posted safety guidance.

ALL GUIDES AND RESEARCH
COMPLETE GUIDE Why is it called the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea water surface was 441.33 meters below mean sea level on 31 August 2026. This is a dated surface-elevation measurement, not the lake's water depth. Its brine contains about 340 g/L of dissolved salts and has a density of about 1.24 g/mL, which makes floating unusually easy.

GEOLOGY Mount Sodom: A Mountain Made Entirely of Salt
Rising 250 meters above the southern Dead Sea shore, Mount Sodom is a halite diapir composed almost entirely of crystalline salt. One of the few such formations accessible to visitors anywhere on Earth.

SCIENCE Is There Life in the Dead Sea? What Science Has Found
No fish. No seaweed. Yet under certain conditions, halophilic archaea and the microalga Dunaliella emerge in concentrations visible from the shore as a reddish bloom, one of Earth's most extreme living systems.
READ THE SCIENCEAbout ten times ocean salinity. One sea.

I’m so excited that my clients, D & R, have arrived safely to start their 25th anniversary trip! ❤️
They are travelling on the exact same itinerary through Egypt 🇪🇬and Jordan 🇯🇴that I took my group on last year, and I loved this trip so much that I honestly can’t wait to follow along and relive all the memories from each day.
Getting to experience the Pyramids and Sphinx, floating on the Nile and in the Dead Sea, exploring Petra and Wadi Rum, and learning about the incredible history and cultures of these countries was such an amazing experience.
There were so many moments from this trip that have stayed with me, and it’s pretty special to now watch D & R experience them for themselves — especially as they celebrate such a special milestone together.
I can’t wait to see their photos and follow along on their adventure. It’s going to be so much fun reliving this trip all over again! ❤️🌍✨
Happy 25th anniversary, D & R! I hope this trip is everything you dreamed it would be and more! 🥂

The Dead Sea is so salty that its dense water makes floating unusually easy—you can practically lie back without trying. 🌊😳

Aqaba at the edge of the Red Sea.
Jordan by Private Helicopter gives these places a different sequence, with private scenic flights, air taxi transfers, fly-and-dine experiences, aerial photography flights and special occasion arrivals arranged from Amman.
The experience is intimate by nature. The Robinson R44 referenced for Amman flights accommodates up to three passengers, with a total passenger weight limit of 210 kg. Larger aircraft may be reviewed on request, depending on the route and operating conditions.
Each flight begins with practical questions: route, date, passenger profile, purpose of travel, visibility, permissions, landing point and onward arrangements.
For travellers with limited time, helicopter access can make Jordan feel less fragmented. It can also add a visual memory that road travel alone cannot provide: ruins, desert, water, stone and city held in one continuous view.
