                          Dead Sea at Jordan

                          There are few countries in the Middle East where the legacies of ancient civilizations are more evident than Jordan, home to countless thousand-year-old towns, the breathtaking ruins of Petra and the hundreds of lesser-known ruins and monuments scattered about the landscape. 

                          The sheer weight of history in the country makes the ultra-modern cities even more amazing to behold, and the easy coexistent of the two – modern and ancient – is one of the country’s most fantastic attractions.

                          8+ Cruise Tips and Tricks – Make the Most of Your Vacation!

                          10 Steps To Travel Planning: A Great Vacation

                          The Dead Sea

                          Does ‘The Dead Sea’ sound creepy? It is named the Dead Sea because not one animal lives in it. There’s no seaweed or plants in or around the water. There are no fish or any swimming, squirming creatures living in or near the water. Instead, what you’ll see on the shores of the sea is white crystals of salt covering everything.

                          Located on the Eastern Coast of Jordan, The Dead Sea is one of the spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the whole world. The views will not disappoint the frequent traveller of beach-oriented destinations. 

                          Don’t forget to include The Dead Sea in your itinerary to experience the sensation of floating like a rubber tube. Because the salt content is four times more compared to most of the world’s oceans, you can swim in the Dead Sea without even trying, which makes swimming there a truly unique experience that is not to be missed. 

                          The moment you enter the water, your body naturally floats to the top. The water is so calm that it makes your skin tingle, and you feel so refreshed.

                          This is the only place in the world where you can recline on the water and read a newspaper. Therefore, a few rules you need to follow before you step into the water: only float on your back, and do generally not swim as the legs would float better than usual, and the head will be submerged. 

                          Furthermore, the salt concentration in the water is so high that it would cause tremendous pain if it comes in contact with the eyes and could cause greater panic.

                          The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth in any landmass, which is 417 meters below sea level, to be exact, and the world’s richest source of natural salts. The most popular attraction at the Dead Sea is the hot and soothing super-salty seawater. 

                          The quantity of water that evaporates from it is greater than the water that flows into it, making the Dead Sea the highest concentration of salt in the world, approximately 340 grams per litre of water. 

                          The water is so salty that it would be a bad idea even to try and take a sip. But, on the other hand, that same salt provides tremendous relief to many ailing visitors who come here regularly to benefit from its healing properties. All these and more make the Dead Sea fascinating, different and exciting.

                          Dead Sea in Jordan

                          Some people call The Dead Sea ‘The Lowest Spa in the World’. This is because the composition of the salts and minerals in the water makes it unique and beneficial for the body. 

                          The sea bed has black mud deposits that are easy to spread on the body and provide the skin with nourishing minerals, which seems to be endless in supply. 

                          And there, you can see green-mask-covered people walking around the beach. It is fun to watch them turn colours, from green to dark mud colour. Then, after slathering the black mud onto your body, you can instantly feel the difference – the skin is noticeably smoother than before. 

                          Try rubbing it all over your body and wait for it to dry before washing it off, even though you may look like an alien walking around with only the whites of your teeth and eyes showing. The bromide in the air is also beneficial to the system, thus making the Dead Sea an all-around provider for good health and healing.

                          For any holidaymakers planning to The Dead Sea, a few choices of accommodation range from luxury to budget stay to suit your needs.

                          Attraction To See and Do in Amman, Jordan

                          Petra

                          Famously known as the Lost City from the Hollywood Blockbuster, Indiana Jones, and the Last Crusade, this spectacular city carved in the red stone of mountains must be seen to be believed. This vast city was built by the ancient Nabataeans and has often been considered the world’s eighth wonder.

                          Wadi Rum

                          This fantastic landscape of 4000-year-old, red-hued monoliths rising from the desert sands is best described by T.E. Lawrence, who considered them “vast, echoing and god-like…”. A day trip out to Wadi Rum is one of the most popular activities in Jordan.

                          Activities on the Dead Sea

                          One of the most unusual seas globally, the high salinity of the Dead Sea’s waters has attracted visitors for thousands of years for its therapeutic properties. Today, it is still renowned for health treatments. Still, the most popular activity in the Dead Sea is floating – not swimming–the salinity of the water causes anyone to flow in it effortlessly!

                          Citadel Hill (Jabal el Qala)

                          This hill is packed with most of Amman’s historical attractions, including the ruins of the Temple of Hercules, the remains of Roman walls and an Arab castle, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Popular Traditions, the Jordan Folklore Museum and the city’s most famous historical relic – the magnificent Roman amphitheatre, the biggest and best-preserved in Jordan, and still occasionally used today. 

                          It’s a relatively compact area, easy to walk around, and has lovely views across the old city.

                          The Balad

                          The heart of downtown Amman is the only part of the city that still retains its ancient character and is an excellent place to walk around and explore the numerous souqs, shops, restaurants and street vendors. 

                          When shopping, expect to bargain (knowing basic Arabic will be an immense help!).

                          Al-Husseini Mosque

                          The major landmark in the downtown area, this enormous mosque was built in the 1980s in honour of King Abdullah I, and apart from its sheer size (it can accommodate 3,000 worshippers), the mosque is known for its blue mosaic dome.

                          Dead Sea Ultra Marathon

                          April 13

                          One of the most gruelling sporting events in Jordan, contestants race from Amman down through the deserts of southern Jordan, along scorching tarmac roads. Only for the fit, though, visitors can join the crowds of spectators lining the race route.

                          Distant Heat

                          July 26

                          This fantastic music festival is held in the famous Wadi Rum area and is still going strong into its fourth year. It attracts pop and electronic music lovers from around Jordan to the desert for this festival with a difference.

                          Global Village

                          July (TBA)

                          This annual summer festival is Jordan’s biggest international cultural event and regularly draws thousands of participants for its thrilling rides, endless food and entertainment stalls.

                          Souk Ukaz

                          July – August (TBA)

                          Amman’s annual summer music festival is a great way to hear some of the best local talents on stage and is jazzed up with the yearly addition of some bright international names.
