Suspend Gravity In A Serene Lake
That's right, despite being called "The Dead Sea" it's actually a vast salt lake. Interestingly it's actually the lowest place on Earth at 430 metres below sea level.
At 9.6 times saltier than the ocean, it's fair to say you'll get your share of sodium chloride when taking a dip. The name "The Dead Sea" actually comes from the salt making it difficult for fish and plants to survive. Even if you swim like a brick, you'll look like Michael Phelps taking a paddle in this buoyant lake.

Faq?
The salt concentration is incredibly high in the Dead Sea, and that's what allows you to float.
The mid summer months are quite hot so September to October is the peak season for visiting, giving the weather is still nice but not sweltering.
