River water picks up salt from the ground and carries it along. Normally, the rivers flow into the sea. In the case of the Dead Sea, the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind, just as has happened to the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on Earth so all of the water in the area came to this spot. Much of that water has evaporated leaving behind the salts that came with the water.
