I suppose it would be the Dead Sea. It is a salt lake in the middle of Jordan and Israel. It is not a sea as its name suggest, but rather just a lake.
It has a salinity of 33.7%, which in fact is 8 times as salty as normal sea water. As a result of its salinity, no animals or plants can grow near it, hence giving it the name "Dead sea".
