A must when travelling to Jordan is visiting the Dead Sea. Try a bath (if it's winter and not so warm, have a quick one, but don't go without trying it!!!) at the most salty waters anywhere. You'll check your own flotability. It's a real experience!!!! And also try to put some mud in your body. It's known to have many properties which are good for health. The jordanian side of the Dead Sea has several beaches, some of them public, and some others owned by private properties and hotels. I went to the Dead Sea Spa Hotel (paid a few dinars) for an afternoon stay at the beach (you can read my tip about this hotel at my pages).

It's a MUST-DO thing when travelling in Jordan. Fisrt, I was really worrying if I could float or I might sink. But I did float. It was a great exprerience. And there is seems to be endless mud to smooth your skin. It's really fun to put mud on body. I felt that my skin was smoother than it used to be a few minutes after using it. Haha.
Warning: The water is too salty that NEVER try make a sip. And please leave the water few minutes after soaking in water. It really hurts you. And be sure to take a nice shower and wash away that salty water.
The entrance fee for public beach is JD7. And there is a restaurant, buffet is the only thing you can buy in the restaurant, which also cost JD7. A can of coke is JD1. Anyway, it's tourist site.
Well it locates in remote from any town near by. If you take public transport, you may need to walk 10km in the sun. It's okei to hitch but it depends on luck. If you have and organised trip, it cost me JD18 a day include Mdaba and Kerak.

For the people like to be away from lot of traffics and car horns, for the people looking for a space of peace.

Movenpick Dead sea is a great and marvellous place.
Materials used in building is mainly mud,stones (jordan stone) and bricks.

This is dedicated to people who like nature and it's colours.
It was rainy day last febreuary,many colours as u can see green farms,red mud and brown degrees beside the white sky .

I advice all to go in winter or spring.if u decide to go on summer then the colours will be less.

Take experienced person with u (one of Amman people or experienced taxi driver).
If it's your time there,Not try to take it on your own risk!!
