The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth, and its beaches are one of the most popular attractions in Jordan. The water is so salty that you float effortlessly, and the mineral-rich mud is famous for its skin benefits.
The Jordanian shore has a mix of public beaches and private resorts. The public beaches are affordable, while the resorts offer pools, spas and facilities. The Amman Beach and the Dead Sea Spa Hotel are popular choices.
It is important to avoid getting the water in your eyes, and to rinse off after swimming. The mud baths are a fun and relaxing experience.
The Dead Sea is an easy day trip from Amman, and it is often combined with Madaba and Mount Nebo.
