The Vibrant waters of the Dead Sea Jordan
The Dead Sea Jordan does not disappoint. From its vibrant blue waters to its high salt content it is unlike any other body of water in the world. This photo from high above gives you an idea of the contrasting landscape that Jordan has to offer. Driving along the coast of the Dead Sea, we were taken by it’s beauty. Across the water we could see the country of Israel. So close and yet worlds apart. Both Jordan and Israel border the Dead Sea. They have good relations, but talking to most Jordanians, it is a relationship that they tolerate. Most who we spoke with don’t love their neighbour. It is sad that there is so much unrest in this part of the world. It is a beautiful barren landscape and when visiting the country, you almost feel the eternal spirituality pulse through the air. It’s an ancient land with an ancient history and the Dead Sea is one of the most beautiful destinations you’ll visit.

Make sure to swim in the Dead Sea as well. You’ll be amazing to feel just how much you can float in the salty water. I wouldn’t have believed it myself, but it’s true. It is impossible to sink in the salty water. That is not to say it isnt’ impossible to drown. Many people drown face first in the Dead Sea due to the fact that they are more buoyant than they anticipated. Be careful when swimming int he Dead Sea. That’s our advice to you.

All I can say is, WOW! That photo is incredible. I’m hoping to go to Jordan in September and have been getting very excited at the thought of Petra, but this has added to it!
It looks a bit like the Grand Canyon filled up with water – very nice shot.
That is an awesome photo, very surreal. Did you have to do some photo editing to help with the contrast levels?
Hi Dave, yes I did increase the contrast and vibrance in Lightroom.
This is just sooooo gorgeous!
Beautiful! Brings back such happy memories of our time in Jordan. LOVED the Dead Sea. I had been there years ago on the Israeli side and I had forgotten just how beautiful it is.
Thanks Jeanne. I’d like to see it from the other side as well. It’s a pretty spectacular place.
I have goosebumps looking at this photo!
Thanks Andi, you are always so amazing.
Gorgeous shot, I really enjoyed being in Jordan recently. I loved it so much I’m planning to go back. Seriously rad photo!
That is gorgeous! I still haven’t seen the dead sea, but hopefully soon!
This definitely belongs on the cover of National Geographic! Breath taking picture.
Wow, thanks Debbie! That is a huge compliment.
Awesome photo guys. How the hell do you afford to get around so much. Yes! I am jealous. I am from UK and have now lived in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Krsko in Slovenia. But my travel pails beside your exploits
