The Dead Sea also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake between Jordanto/Israel/West Bank. Its surface and lands are 422 metres (1,385 ft) beneath low-lying. It is the lowest peak on the world surface on earth. The Dead Sea is 378 m (1,240 ft) deep. It is the deepest hypersaline lake in the Earth. It is also one of the Earth most salt consistences of water.

It is 8.6 times more salty than the sea. This saltiness makes because a heavy surroundings where creatures cannot prosper. The Dead Sea is 67 kilometres long and 18 kilometres broad. The Jordan River is the alone great water origin falling into the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea district aridness is due to the rainshadow burden of the Judean Hills. On that point are two competing possibilities about the origin of the low elevation of the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea's climate offerings year-around shiny skies and dry air with low pollution. It has less than 100 millimetres mean annual rainfall and a summer average temperature between 32 and 39 °C. Winter average temperatures range between 20 and 23 °C.

The Dead Sea surface area has become a major focus treatment for several reasons. It is called "Dead Sea" because its eminent saltiness forbids macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants. Although minuscule numbers of bacteria and microbial fungi are existing. There are a lot of small communities approach the Dead Sea.

According to the custom of Islam, the Dead Sea was near the land in which the Prophet Lut existed. The masses in that area were thought loathsome for their acts of homosexualism and murder, and therefore Allah had appointed punishment to the people of Lut for these works.
