The Lowest Route in the World

Dead Sea 

The Lowest Route in the World is a new tourism initiative launched in the Dead Sea region. 

The Dead Sea is a salt lake in the Jordan Rift Valley, and with the Jordan River its main tributary. 

The lake's surface is 430.5 metres below sea level, making its shores the lowest land-based elevation on earth. 

The Lowest Route in the World is a collaboration between the three regional councils in the area and is geared to making the Dead Sea Land more accessible for visitors and tourists. 

It will provide visitors with the chance to plan and map an independent route to various attractions and sites, based on their interests. 

It is hoped that the development of the Lowest Route in the World, will be able to establish the area as a tourist route in the way as the Camino de Santiago Cross-Israel Trail.
