The Dead Sea

Here is another picture of the Israeli flag but from a higher place on Masada. The Dead Sea is in the background in the middle. Companies are now "farming" the Dead Sea. They put up dams, let the water evaporate and then harvest the rich minerals including the salt. Afterward, they take down the dams and move them to another section and allow the section they just harvested to fill with water again. Ahava Products are probably the most well know products made from this process.
