The lowest point on the earth (431m below sea level) brings tourists remarkable natural splendors, gripping ancient history and state-of-the-art mineral spas that sooth & pamper each part of your body.

Bordered by Israel, Palestine and Jordan, there are plenty of reasons to visit Dead Sea and it makes sense to explore this natural wonder sooner than later as its water shrinking by a meter per year. No trip to Jordan would be complete without experiencing the joy of floating on the water of Dead Sea while covered in mineral-filled mud.

Swimming here is nearly impossible, so tourists just lean back & use water as their own flotation device.
