The Dead Sea is one of the most incredible places and the world’s first natural spa. It is known for the Biblical story of the destruction of the old cities of Sodom and Gomorra in the Old Testament, which was turned into salt. The Dead Sea speaks for itself; there is no living fish! It is by far one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm shining water glowing from its scorching sun is known for the concentration of salt and minerals, which makes it a therapeutic property, as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed! After such a relaxing experience in the first world’s natural spa, your driver will take you back to your centrally located Amman hotel.

Traveler reviews
A visit to Holy Land
A holy and historical land. It was my dream to visit wonderful Petra caves in Jordan. Floating in the Dead Sea, standing on the Nebo mountain, where once Moses stood looking at the Promised Land, roaming along the Jordan river where Jesus Christ was baptized... everything made me elated. The Citadel in Amman is another wonder. As a historian and archaeologist I loved these places. Jordan is nice, jordanians are good. Though the trip is slightly expensive, its worth. The hotels are good. Be careful with some yellow taxis, they try to cheat. Jordan is benefitting from tourism. The government should not think that all tourists are rich. Let them help old people use battery vehicles at a lower price. Let senior citizens be respected. Pestering locals is another problem. The Jordan Pass is not accepted in several important places like Nebo Mountain, Christ's Baptism place, Churches in Madaba, the Jordan Museum in Amman etc. However, the copper Dead Sea scross in Jordan Museum is another wonder for me. If I have time, I will visit Jordan again. Altogether Jordan is safe for tourists.
Take a tour with a friend away from home
My private tour guide and driver Khaled Alwahsh was amazing courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable while bringing me to and from Amman to the Dead Sea. We made a couple of extra stops and he always gave me ample time to explore as this was a private tour on my own. It was very comfortable and Khaled was a very safe driver.
Great
Mahmoud the driver was so kind and friendly, bought us a local falafel sandwich for breakfast. The Dead Sea Spa Resort was great too - have 2 hours there. P.S. beware of your belongings as unfortunately, a Jordanian local stole JD cash from my bag (very bad)
Absolutely splendid experience
Bader, our private driver and guide, was the BEST Person we could have wished for! We highly admired his insights and opinions, and his great sense of humour! He was extremly kind to us, provided us coffee/juice, told us so many interesting things! We were wery happy to share our time with him. The resort was really nice, included several pools, changing facilities, and easy access to the Dead Sea via footpath.A very good buffet. Highly recommend! Thank you very much, dear Bader!
A half day to remember for a lifetime
My driver, Faris, was amazing and very patient and knowledgeable. He spoke perfect English and could explain everything about the Dead Sea. He did a great job for us and made the trip smooth and fun. The company set up the tour the same day (two hours before). I have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. The water was amazing, the mud get great, the hotel was enjoyable, food was great, and my driver was funny. You have to do this when in Amman; can’t miss this!
