Near the Dead Sea, you can visit the famous Lot's Cave. Prophet Lut 'Lot'  immigrated with his uncle, Prophet Abraham  from Ur in Iraq. He went to live in the region just south of the Dead Sea.

He fled Allah's destruction of his village Sodom due to its inhabitants' immoral practices, by taking refuge in this cave with his daughters. Allah  turned his wife into a pillar of salt for disobeying Allah's command not to look back at Sodom as it burnt.

When visiting the cave you will notice its topography tallying exactly with the Islamic and Biblical accounts. Furthermore, you can visit several 6th century ruins and mosaics dedicated to Lot's Cave. Prophet Lot  is mentioned several times in the Holy Qur'an.
