Itinerary
Discover the delights of the Dead Sea on this half day private tour from Amman. Travel by private, leisure air-conditioned vehicle through Jordan’s desert landscapes to the eastern shores of Sowayma with your own private English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide. Visit a water’s edge private beach and enjoy ample free time to swim in the waters, lounge on the beach, enjoy the swimming pools, and absorb the beautiful setting in a 4-stars hotel. You have the option to use a stylish spa offering Dead Sea mud treatments including revitalizing body scrub, and massages (at your own expense). Alternatively, upgrade to a 5-star hotel with a wider range of facilities, including outdoor swimming pools and showers. You have an option to upgrade your tour including lunch; restaurant opens from 13 – 15 hours.
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
Great experience but overpriced
Firstly, we do have to say that our guide was a 5/5. He was amazing and this review is not due to any issues with him! But, this half-day tour is VERY expensive. Even more expensive than our private full-day tour to Peta and Wadi Rum with a different operator!! The itinerary seems a bit misleading too, as we thought we would see some Salt crystals like in the company tour pictures, but we only went to the Holiday Inn, had lunch and got driven back to the hotel again. However, the experience was great, we are glad we did it, but we do feel it should have been much cheaper.
Amazing experience
Amazing experience and the guide was gracious. It was not over crowded and we enjoyed the trip. We stopped by a shop selling Dead Sea products on the way back.
Great tour
Really great trip. Bader was a really nice guy and very accommodating- fitted in a trip to the River Jordan before visiting the Dead Sea. Fun experience ‘swimming’ in the sea and applying the mud! No time pressure was put on us on how long we wanted to stay there. A very worthwhile trip.
We’ll worth it!
Description of the area and very personable driver who gave us a lot of information. Very significant distance down to the Dead Sea from Amman.
Excellent tour guide and experience!
The Tourguide Sami was such a nice and polite person. The trip was very pleasant and relaxing with him. He is the best Tourguide I have ever had! Floating on the Dead Sea was really fun. And the subsequent sunbathing and lunch in holiday inn were enjoyable as well. For this tour I think it is a good idea to book the 5-star holiday inn and lunch. You need the facilities such as shower to enjoy Dead Sea.
