Why are there no boats on the Dead Sea?

There are no boats on the Dead Sea because the water is too salty and the salinity levels make it difficult for boats to float. The salt content of the Dead Sea is so high that it prevents fish and other marine life from living in it, and the water is far too salty for any kind of conventional boat to operate in it.

What happens if you open your eyes in the Dead Sea?

Opening your eyes in the Dead Sea can be dangerous, as the salt water can cause irritation and damage to the eyes. It is recommended not to open your eyes underwater, and to wear goggles if you plan to go into the water. Additionally, the combination of high salinity and the pressure of the water can cause the eyes to swell, leading to discomfort or even pain. If you do open your eyes, it is important to rinse them out with clean water as soon as possible.
