I was not too sure about the claim. But I did Google it up and it is true. This is the lowest land in the world. A little south of the Dead Sea, this is the “Gawr” area. I am not 100% sure of this but I believe the term translates to “low lying areas” in Arabic.

The museum itself is in Gawr es-Safi. Has some great history lessons on how this area got the first humans and how things have evolved from there.

There is a mummified corpse from long past that completely spooked Sharmila.

Also, this has a coffee shop (a bit modern day, I admit) that serves some killer karak chai!
