Ein-Gedi, Dead Sea, IsraelMarch 3-5

30th European Workshop on Computational Geometry

• Amazing scenery - salted sea located in the Judaeandesert

• Lowest point on earth (-425 meters below sea level)

• The high percentage of salt (34.2%) does not let you sink

• The water and mud are rich with minerals which are considered very healthy

• The level of the sea reduces by 1 meter per year (come now before it is too late…)

• A finalist in the new 7 wonders of the world competition
