Dead Sea Map
The Dead Sea is a lake across Jordan, Israel and Palestine, covering about 605 km² (234 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 360 m (1,181 ft). This map shows the lake outlined in blue on shaded relief, with the rivers, borders and towns around it.
How to read this map
It is shared by Jordan, Israel and Palestine.
The blue outline marks the Dead Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Tel Aviv, Amman, Jerusalem, Zarqa, Irbid, Gaza City, Hebron and Nablus. Labeled countries: Jordan.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Dead Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Dead Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
