Salt is harvested as there are many minerals inside, but it's not table salt

The Dead Sea's salt concentration is 34%. This high concentration of salt makes the water very dense. Life cannot survive in that concentration of salt—hence the name. The human body, by comparison, is not as dense as the salt water. Therefore, humans float in the Dead Sea!
