On the Dead Sea Having a Salt Content Ten Times Greater than that of the Planet's Oceans (Percentage-Wise, of Course - 35% Versus 3.5%)

 

There are actually a few bodies of water saltier than the Dead Sea (a small pond in Antarctica measures in at 40%) but what makes it special is that just 30% of its salt is sodium chloride, a factor which allows it to contain a plethora of other minerals like iodine, potassium chloride, magnesium, and calcium, all of which seemingly have healing qualities. And, yes, this is why people flock there from around the world. That and it's hard to drown in water that salty. Who could be against that?
