Why visit Dead Sea?

The Dead Sea, on the border between Jordan and the West Bank, is the lowest point on land on Earth, more than 400 metres below sea level. Its water is so salty that you float effortlessly on the surface, an experience that draws visitors from around the world.

The Jordanian shore has a row of resort hotels with private beaches, pools and spas, as well as public beaches; covering yourself in the mineral-rich black mud is part of the ritual, and the salt and minerals are used in skincare. Swim carefully: avoid getting water in your eyes, do not shave beforehand, and limit time in the water. Nearby sights make it more than a spa stop. Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the baptism site of Jesus, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Nebo looks out over the Promised Land, and Madaba has its famous mosaic map of the Holy Land. Wadi Mujib, a gorge with a river walk through towering rock walls, is popular for canyoning.
