FLOATING in the DEAD SEA!! IMPOSSIBLE to Sink! BUCKETLIST Checked | Jordan
SUBSCRIBE to get notified of our next video!!!
We left Aqaba and drove to the Dead Sea, stopping by Petra again, because I had left my beloved Toms sunglasses behind and thankfully the cleaning crew at the Capsule hotel we stayed at was nice enough to hold on to them for me! Although we had to drive a bit out of the way to get them, it was all worth it as we got to dine at our FAVE restaurant -Reem Beladi in Petra again.
What was supposed to be a boring drive turned quite unforgettable. We took a back route thru Little Petra and it felt a little dicey at times because it was so quiet and desolate. At one point there was a car behind us with a real machine gun and a person manning the gun, but thankfully nothing happened and we made it safely to the Dead Sea
We finally got to check ‘floating in the Dead Sea’ off our bucket list and it was more trippy than we imagined! We kept bobbing around like apples! We followed the crowd and slathered the therapeutic mud all over ourselves, I must say I did not enjoy the experience of the mud drying on me, but my skin did feel softer afterwards!
A few tips
1) Don’t get the water in the eyes, it really burns!
2) Don’t drink any, not even a drop, it tastes like poison!
3) Bring a bottle of water with you, to rinse off your eyes especially if you get any in your eyes!
4) Don’t shave a few days before, even minor cuts will burn!
5) Enjoy the unreal experience!
If you enjoy seeing Lawrence’s unfiltered funny moments, there’s one in this vlog guaranteed to make you LOL. =)

ABOUT US
We have been traveling together for the last 10 years. It all started when we applied to the Amazing Race show and they called us for an interview. We interviewed but didn’t make the final cut because we didn’t have enough ‘drama’ in our relationship. But that didn’t stop us from doing our OWN amazing race of traveling the world but at our own pace! We have just hit our 50th country and thought it would be fun to document our journey!
We are looking forward to hitting all 215 countries. Subscribe to our channel and join us on the adventure!!

Floating in the Dead Sea - You Can't Sink! - Interesting Facts
The Dead Sea (Hebrew: יָם הַמֶּלַח, Yam ha-Melah, Sea of Salt, also Hebrew: יָם הַמָּוֶת, Yam ha-Mavet, The Sea of Death, and Arabic: البحر الميت About this sound Al-Bahr al-Mayyit (help·info)), also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west. Its surface and shores are 429 metres (1,407 ft) below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With 34.2% salinity (in 2011), it is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean, and one of the world's saltiest bodies of water. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which plants and animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 50 kilometers (31 mi) long and 15 kilometers (9 mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
The Dead Sea water has a density of 1.24 kg/liter, which makes swimming similar to floating.
Biblical period-
Dwelling in caves near the Dead Sea is recorded in the Hebrew Bible as having taken place before the Israelites came to Canaan, and extensively at the time of King David.
Just northwest of the Dead Sea is Jericho. Somewhere, perhaps on the southeastern shore, would be the cities mentioned in the Book of Genesis which were said to have been destroyed in the time of Abraham: Sodom and Gomorra (Genesis 18) and the three other Cities of the Plain, Admah, Zeboim and Zoar (Deuteronomy 29:23). Zoar escaped destruction when Abraham's nephew Lot escaped to Zoar from Sodom (Genesis 19:21-22). Before the destruction, the Dead Sea was a valley full of natural tar pits, which was called the vale of Siddim. King David was said to have hidden from Saul at Ein Gedi nearby.
In Ezekiel 47:8-9 there is a specific prophecy that the sea will .. be healed and made fresh, becoming a normal lake capable of supporting marine life. A similar prophecy is stated in Zechariah 14:8, which says that Living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea (likely the Dead Sea) and half to the western sea (the Mediterranean)...
Greek and Roman period-
Aristotle wrote about the remarkable waters. The Nabateans and others discovered the value of the globs of natural asphalt that constantly floated to the surface where they could be harvested with nets. The Egyptians were steady customers, as they used asphalt in the embalming process that created mummies. The Ancient Romans knew the Dead Sea as Palus Asphaltites (Asphalt Lake).
King Herod the Great built or rebuilt several fortresses and palaces on the western bank of the Dead Sea. The most famous was Masada, where in 70 CE a small group of Jewish zealots fled after the fall of the destruction of the Second Temple. The zealots survived until 73 CE, when a siege by the X Legion ended in the deaths by suicide of its 960 inhabitants. Another historically important fortress was Machaerus (מכוור), on the eastern bank, where, according to Josephus, John the Baptist was imprisoned by Herod Antipas and died.
Also in Roman times, some Essenes settled on the Dead Sea's western shore; Pliny the Elder identifies their location with the words, on the west side of the Dead Sea, away from the coast ... [above] the town of Engeda (Natural History, Bk 5.73); and it is therefore a hugely popular but contested hypothesis today, that same Essenes are identical with the settlers at Qumran and that the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered during the 20th century in the nearby caves had been their own library.
Josephus identified the Dead Sea in geographic proximity to the ancient Biblical city of Sodom. However, he referred to the lake by its Greek name, Asphaltites.
Various sects of Jews settled in caves overlooking the Dead Sea. The best known of these are the Essenes of Qumran, who left an extensive library known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. The town of Ein Gedi, mentioned many times in the Mishna, produced persimmon for the temple's fragrance and for export, using a secret recipe. Sodomite salt was an essential mineral for the temple's holy incense, but was said to be dangerous for home use and could cause blindness. The Roman camps surrounding Masada were built by Jewish slaves receiving water from the towns around the lake. These towns had drinking water from the Ein Feshcha springs and other sweetwater springs in the vicinity.

Deadliest Hiking Trail in the World | Huashan Mountain
I went hiking the deadliest hiking trail in the world in Huashan mountain near Xi'an, China. It was one of the best experiences I ever had.
Morning time around 6am I woke up and a driver picked me up to take me to the base of Huashan mountain. once I got to the base of Mount Hua I got my tickets to get in the mountain and got the cable car which takes around 10 minutes to go up.
If you take huashan cable car you skip a couple thousand steps but still once you reach up with the cable car you still have to walk around 3500 steps.
Hiking huashan mountain can be one of the deadliest hiking trail in the world because of its safety, once you are going up there is no much protection for you and false step can get you injured very easily in these deadliest hiking trails.
The most famous part of huashan mountain in china is the cliffside plank walk. This huashan cliffside plank walk is very scary and famous for how high it is. This cliffside plank walk attracts many tourists and the queue to go to it may take up to 3 or 4 hours.
I took a whole day to hike huashan mountain, I made a lot of pictures and videos and I even used my drone there. Hiking mount huashan is a bit scary but at the same time you will love it by the pictures you will be able to get.
And this cliffside plank walk is one of the deadliest hiking trails in the world because some people take off their harness so they can have better pictures and once you take it off, one false step and you are gone.

Floating in the Dead Sea
This is me floating in the Dead Sea during my holiday to Jordan in August / September 2021.
The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
The lake's surface is 430.5 metres (1,412 ft) below sea level,making its shores the lowest land-based elevation on Earth. It is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With a salinity of 342 g/kg, or 34.2% (in 2011), 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. The Dead Sea's main, northern basin is 50 kilometres (31 mi) long and 15 kilometres (9 mi) wide at its widest point.

FLOATING IN THE DEAD SEA
The Dead Sea is the only place on earth where one can practice floating in natural zero gravity in a huge and isolated natural lake surrounded by pristine desert. AVAYASANA was born from the recognition that these unequaled conditions are precious gifts, and provides an open gateway to their powerful healing potential.
At its core, AVAYASANA is rooted in the well-researched floatation therapy (r.e.s.t), whose therapeutic powers have been extensively researched and documented. But unlike traditional floatation therapy, which is inevitably restricted to small and confined artificial floatation tanks, AVAYASANA leverages the huge expanse of open natural space provided by the Dead Sea and its surroundings, and expands traditional floatation therapy through a set new and novel floatation techniques that include DeepFloating Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Theta Brainwave Therapy and Watsu.
The continuous and prolonged practice of these techniques in a state in which body and mind are free from having to deal with gravity, allows the muscles and nervous system to relax and to balance, invoking a state of infinite openness, unlimited freedom and physical well-being.
The transformative impact of these floating practices is then intensified by immersing in the surrounding desert, practicing meditation and yoga and sleeping under the stars. Thus, AVAYASANA bridges between western science and eastern disciplines to transform your visit to the Dead Sea into a journey of exploration within the limitless boundaries of the self, healing body, mind and soul.
