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.

Its brine contains about 340 g/L of dissolved salts, roughly ten times ocean salinity, and has a density of about 1.24 g/mL that makes floating unusually easy. A detailed guide to what visitors should know before they arrive.
