ANYWHERE ELSE THIS WOULD BE A REAL HIGH POINT.
But this is the Dead Sea, at over 1300 feet below sea level the lowest place on earth. First-time Israel vacationers Caitlin and Arthur are having the time of their lives – they are literally standing on pillars of salt. “We’d always heard about its beauty and healing qualities,” said Caitlin. “It was mesmerizing to float on the water and not sink.” Getting there was also a revelation: just 90 minutes from Jerusalem, and an easy visit to the place the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, as well as the mountaintop fortress of Masada. The Dead Sea. One of the wonders of the world. Only in Israel.
