All about Dead Sea
When to Visit
The best time to visit the Dead Sea is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer mild weather, perfect for floating and enjoying outdoor activities. Summers (June to August) can be extremely hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), but the dry climate makes it manageable for short visits. Winters (December to February) are cooler and can include occasional rain, but they’re still a pleasant time for exploration and relaxation.
Getting Around
The Dead Sea region is best explored by car, as public transport options are limited. Many hotels and resorts offer shuttle services to nearby attractions. Guided tours from Amman, Jerusalem, or other nearby cities are a convenient option for day trips. Taxis and private drivers are also available, but pre-arranging transportation is recommended.
Traveler Tips
Pack a swimsuit, as floating in the Dead Sea is a must-do experience. Avoid shaving or open cuts before entering the water, as the high salt content can cause discomfort. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after swimming to remove salt residues. Bring sandals for walking on rocky shorelines and sunscreen to protect against the intense sun. Try the mineral-rich Dead Sea mud for a natural spa treatment. Stay hydrated and avoid submerging your face to prevent irritation. Plan a visit to nearby attractions like Wadi Mujib for adventure or Mount Nebo for historical insights.
