A Low Point
Did you know that Israel has the lowest point on Earth? That’s right. The Dead Sea, which borders Jordan, sits at 1,315 feet below sea level. This sea is so salty that you can actually float on it! There is no life in the water, and it would take a good amount weights to get you fully submerged in the water.
A Spot In The Middle East
Israel has some interesting neighbors, some of whom are committed to the country’s destruction. There is Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan to the west, Egypt to the south, and Gaza in the southeast.
