Continue planning with our Dead Sea destination guide, and consult the official Jordan Tourism Board for current destination information.
At 1,410 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth's lowest point – and perhaps its most therapeutic. The mineral-rich waters contain 34 percent salt, creating buoyancy so complete that floating requires zero effort. The black mud along the shoreline is nature's spa treatment, rich in minerals that cleanse and rejuvenate skin. This day tour offers pure relaxation: no hiking, no early starts, no demanding schedules. Just the unique sensation of weightlessness, the warmth of Jordanian sunshine, and the option to add professional spa treatments for complete rejuvenation. Whether you are recovering from Jordan's more demanding adventures or simply seeking the world's most unusual bathing experience, the Dead Sea delivers. This is wellness, Jordan style.

Everything important for planning, comfort, access, timing, and on-the-ground expectations.
The key to comfortable travel in Jordan is layering. Desert mornings can be surprisingly cool even in summer, while midday temperatures can soar. Sites like Petra and Wadi Rum offer minimal shade, making sun protection essential year-round. Comfortable, broken-in walking shoes are absolutely critical – this is not the place for new footwear or fashion sandals. We recommend packing light but smart: choose versatile items that can be mixed and matched, and remember that laundry services are available at most hotels if needed. Leave room in your luggage for souvenirs – Jordanian handicrafts, Dead Sea products, and spices are irresistible.

Useful labels that help compare this journey with other Jordan Journey experiences.
Clear answers before you reserve your journey.
Correct - swimming is impossible due to extreme buoyancy. You simply float. Attempting to swim creates splashing, and getting water in your eyes is extremely painful (salt concentration 10x ocean). Just recline and relax.
Maximum 15-20 minutes at a time. The salt can irritate skin with prolonged exposure. Rinse with fresh water between floats. Hydrate regularly.
Do not shave for 24 hours before - salt stings intensely. Cover any cuts with petroleum jelly. If you have open wounds, reconsider floating or keep them completely above water.
The black mud is rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, and other minerals. Many people report improved skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema) after regular exposure. Even single applications leave skin feeling soft and renewed.
Yes, but be extremely careful. Salt water destroys electronics instantly. Use a waterproof case or leave devices in your bag. Many resorts have photographers for purchase.
Amman Beach (Base) is a public resort with good facilities. Holiday Inn (Enhanced) offers better pools and dining. Movenpick (Signature) is a luxury resort with extensive spa facilities, multiple pools, and private beach areas.
