In recent years, the water level has been steadily declining. The Dead Sea is an endorheic salt lake on the border between Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank, known as the lowest point on Earth on land.

The water contains not only sodium chloride but is also rich in various minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and iron, which are known for their healing effects on the skin and musculoskeletal system.
