Dead sea is said to be the lowest point on Earth, depth of 1083feet, and its the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. Its 8.6 times saltier than the normal sea. It is 67 km long, 18km wide.There's no seaweed or plants of any kind in or around the water. There are no fish or any kind of swimming, squirming creatures living in or near the water. As a matter of fact, what you'll see on the shores of the Sea is white, crystals of salt covering EVERYTHING.The salts found in the Dead Sea are mineral salts. These mineral salts are famous for its medicinal properties, for curing skin diseases, arthritis, and many people visits Dead Sea for the same.
If I write about Dead sea, there are endless things to write. like the dead sea gets its input of water mostly from the Jordan River, and theres no outlet. The water evaporates, making the sea water more salty.
The Dead Sea was about the land in which the Prophet Loot lived. His tribe had done wrong (act of homosexuality) and was given a punishment.
The punishment arrived when angels were sent down by Allah to Loot. The angels raised the land where the prophet's tribe lived and threw it back into the ground, causing the ground near the impact to cave in. Thus, the lowest land on Earth was formed because of this punishment. The sinners were destroyed and the followers were saved. The sura of Ar-Rum of the Quran refers to the Dead Sea as the lowest place on earth.
