Can you walk on the water of the Dead Sea?

Since the high salt content makes everything float, would it be possible to walk on water as Jesus did?

You can’t walk on the water of the Dead Sea. The water is rich in salt and minerals, so it has a silky, thick consistency that will keep you afloat if you’re swimming. But the buoyancy is not enough to walk on. You can, however, walk on large slabs of solid salt that form in the water, and along the shore.
