Excursion to the Dead Sea gives tourists a lot of pleasure. They are waiting for amazing discoveries and surprises.

One of the notable features on the road to the Dead Sea from Jerusalem on Highway 1 was the change in altitude relative to zero.

The road passes through an endless desert, which in itself adds to the emotions. Guides always draw the attention of tourists to the mark of zero sea level. It is marked by a special structure, the inscription on which says about the intersection of the zero meter. The monument is very simple and unassuming, the inscription on it indicates that the place is located at the zero level.
