A Low Point
Israel also has the lowest point on Earth. Yes, we are talking about the Dead Sea that borders Jordan. It sits at 1,315 feet below the sea level. The water here is so salty you can float on it without exerting any effort! There might be no marine life here, though you will certainly have a tough time submerging yourself.
A Spot In The Middle East
Israel is surrounded by other fascinating countries, though they do not have great relations together. In the north, the country is bordered by Lebanon, Syria to the northeast, Gaza in the southwest, Egypt to the south, and Jordan to the east.
