Taking off from Amman, my flight passed through the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israel before reaching the Mediterranean Sea. I took this photo showing the Dead Sea from above while the plane was still gaining attitude. The Dead Sea is a body of hyper-saline water measuring 67km long and 18km wide. It is the Earth's lowest point, at 418m below sea level, and is located on the border between the West Bank, Israel, and Jordan, and lies in the Jordan Rift Valley.Today in the news, there are more clashes between Palestine and Israel’s security at the ground of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerussalem. For me being 5000m above is the closest I have been to this holiest site.
