What to do in Kalya

Activities, attractions and tours

The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan and Israel. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River. Its surface and shores are 430.5 metres below sea level. Earth's lowest elevation on land. It is 304 m deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With a salinity of 342 g/kg, or 34.2%, it is one of the world's saltiest bodies of water – 9.6 times as salty as the ocean – and has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes swimming similar to floating. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which plants and animals cannot flourish, hence its name.

This is the place where the Dead Sea scrolls where discovered in Israel. A young Shepard throwing a stone at a goat heard it crash against pottery and discovered the scrolls in caves in the mountains. The visit was rather disappointing: you can’t go to the caves and you are limited to see the ruins of some early Christian sect and a small museum. While learning about the sect was interesting, my imagination surrounding the Dead Sea scrolls had expected something else from Qumran.
