walk / float on the dead sea

I don’t really know much about the ‘DEAD SEA’ near israel is it?, Just OVERHEARD someone mentioning about how you can ‘WALK’ on it. So i thought ‘Wow, That would seriously amazing if its true’. I even asked someone else in the family and apparently you can float on it straight on your back because it has so much salt in it. Amazing. So i’m going to check GOOGLE laters to find out :D GOODLUCK ALL WHO TRY IT…just make sure you don’t go to another sea and fall in it when its 50ft deep LOL i’m scared that might happen to me O.O 4 years ago
