Caption: The easiest way to get to the Dead Sea Tree Salt Island is to park at the Segregated Beach, then walk out as far as possible on the pier/boardwalk. Once you reach the end of the pier, it’s time to swim! While floating in the dead sea is easy peasy, swimming is more deceptively tricky. I would say it took between 15-20 minutes to get to the island.

Caption: Unfortunately I’ve heard rumors that some local teenagers cut the famous tree down recently. But the salt island is still worth checking out!

Caption: The Dead Sea is not actually a sea. It’s a lake! It’s also the lowest place on earth (well at least dry earth) with its banks up to 400m below sea level at points. It’s famous for its extremely saline water and mineral-rich mud, both of which make it a popular health and wellness resort destination.
