Dead Sea
Situated at the lowest point on Earth, 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is one of Jordan’s most famous and extraordinary attractions. Known for its extremely high salinity, the Dead Sea allows visitors to float effortlessly on its surface—a truly unique experience. Beyond the fun of floating, the mineral-rich waters and mud are renowned for their therapeutic and skin-healing properties. With its striking desert backdrop and shimmering waters, the Dead Sea is a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway for those visiting Jordan.

Entry fees for resort day passes range from 20 to 50 JOD, depending on amenities. For a budget-friendly option, Amman Beach offers basic facilities and costs around 10 JOD.

Things to Know Before You Go
Bring swimwear, a towel, and flip-flops, as the beach can be rocky. The high salt concentration means even small cuts can sting, so be cautious when entering the water. Avoid getting water in your eyes, and rinse off immediately after floating to prevent skin irritation. Don’t miss the chance to apply the mineral-rich mud found along the shore—it’s believed to have therapeutic benefits for the skin. If you plan to stay overnight, some resorts offer stunning sunset views over the Dead Sea, creating a magical end to the day.
How to Get There
From Amman, the easiest way to reach the Dead Sea is by car or taxi, with the drive taking about 1 hour via Route 65. Ride-hailing apps like Careem can also be used, but for convenience, many hotels in Amman offer organized day tours with transportation. Public buses to the Dead Sea are less frequent, so hiring a private vehicle or joining a tour is recommended. If you’re coming from Petra or Wadi Rum, the drive takes about 3 to 4 hours, making the Dead Sea a great stop on a longer Jordanian itinerary.
When to Get There
The best time to visit the Dead Sea is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 20°C to 30°C. Summers can be extremely hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C, but the dry air and resort facilities make it manageable. Winter is also a good time to visit, though evenings can get chilly. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for floating and enjoying the views, with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures.
Day Trips from Amman
A day trip from Amman to the Dead Sea is easy and popular among tourists. Most day trips include several hours of relaxation at a private beach, access to resort pools, and a chance to cover yourself in the famous Dead Sea mud. Many tours also combine a visit to nearby attractions, such as Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land, and Madaba, known for its ancient mosaics. For a more leisurely experience, consider staying overnight at a resort to fully enjoy the region’s serene atmosphere and spa treatments.
