On our December 2015 trip to Israel we drove around the southern parts of the country. We passed by the Dead Sea on our way to Masada from Jericho. We opted out of swimming in the sea, but driving the entire length of it was pretty cool, too! 
This was the “Sea Level” sign on the way to the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet, so this sign was important.

A sign for the Dead Sea! Not quite there yet, though… We still had about 18km to go.
The Dead Sea! FINALLY!
