The ocean has 3% salinity; the Great Salt Lake has 10%. The Dead Sea topples them both with a whopping 30% salinity. "Doesn't that burn?" you ask. Why yes, it does. We were advised not to shave our legs the day before our dip in the Dead Sea, and yet I was still surprised at how uncomfortable the highly-salted natural broth is. It's as hot as a bathtub, and the rocks are all encrusted with a thick layer of salt crystals. But certainly worth the buoyant swim.
