Tourists enjoying a mud bath in the Dead Sea, Kalya Beach, West Bank, 2015. The Dead Sea is eight or nine times saltier than the oceans of the world - so dense and mineral rich that it doesn't even feel like normal water, more like olive oil mixed with sand. Kalya is an Israeli settlement and kibbutz. Originally established in 1929 it was occupied by the Jordanians in 1948; it was later rebuilt in 1968 after the Six-Day War. It is located on the northern shore of the Dead Sea, 360 meters below sea level and is popular with Israelis, Christian pilgrims and tourists. Scientific reports suggest that the salty lake located at the lowest point on Earth, is gradually shrinking, partly under the heat of the Middle Eastern sun (source: BBC.co.uk), heavy tourism, development works and minerals continuously being extracted. For those who live on its shores it's a slow-motion crisis - but finding extra water to sustain the sea will be a huge challenge.
