Dead Sea
Relax in this beautiful location known for its luxurious spa resorts, wonderful scenery and ancient religious history.
This salty body of water is the lowest elevation on earth and has earned its name as a relaxing destination for those looking to enjoy the properties of the Dead Sea water and mud. Located 434 metres below sea level and bordered by Jordan and Israel, it is an alluring place imbued with beaty and biblical significance. Here you will find Bethany-Beyond-The-Jordan, the baptism site of Jesus Christ and whatever your beliefs you cannot fail to be moved this modest but beautiful site. Nearby is the ruin of King Herod’s castle where Salome danced for the head of John the Baptist.
An hour’s drive from the Dead Sea is the town of Madaba, overlooked by Mount Nebo it is home to an exceptional collection of Byzantine mosaics. Head to the town of Kerak for one of the most famous crusader castles in Jordan and was a place of legend in the battles between the crusaders and the Islamic armies of Saladin. Despite all this history, it really is the dead sea itself with its balmy water that is the primary attraction in this part of Jordan. Float in the extremely salty water, spend some time on the beach or cover yourself in thick, gloopy mud from the sea.
