"The Dead Sea is a perfect location for paddling board - it has quiet water and a breathtaking view, and allows us to connect to nature in a calmer, greener and different way" Said Israeli medalist and 4 times surfing world champion Amit Inbar, who is also the leader of SUP - the new sport in Israel.
The Group will vote for the Dead Sea as New7Wonders campaign, and will be escorted by media from around the world.
