<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nLocated in the Middle East, at 408 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth. The vast salt lake is bordered by Jordan<\/a> to the East and Israel<\/strong> and the Palestinian Territories<\/strong> to the West. And, needless to say, it is definitely an incredible place to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere are a few reasons to add it to your bucket list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- It is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the whole world<\/strong> \u2013 Because it\u2019s around 10 times saltier than any ocean, this place makes swimming impossible – you simply become so buoyant that all you can do is lean back and float!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It\u2019s an oasis of relaxation<\/strong> \u2013 The Dead Sea is so salty, that no animals are able to live there. So, you won\u2019t have to worry about anything sneaking up on you or brushing against your skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It is essentially a free spa <\/strong>\u2013 If you enjoy going to the spa, then the Dead Sea is THE place for you! The black mud usually found on the seabed is high in calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium, making it the ultimate mud bath for your skin. Better than anything you could get at the spa!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It\u2019s rich in history<\/strong> \u2013 Yep, you read correctly: it is almost THREE MILLION YEARS old! Legend has it that it was first spotted by the Roman King of Judea, Herod, and that Cleopatra used to sing about it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Wondering where exactly the Dead Sea is in Jordan? Here\u2019s a map of the Dead Sea so you can clearly visualise its location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Map](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/where-is-the-dead-sea-located-1024x718.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRELATED READ:<\/strong> Your Complete Wadi Rum Guide, Jordan – Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>How to visit the Dead Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow that you know some fun little facts about this unique place, let\u2019s get to the technical things and some very useful information to know before your trip. First of all, know that you can access the Dead Sea from both Israel and Jordan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nFROM ISRAEL<\/h3>\n\n\n
On the Israeli side, there are a lot of day trips organised that take you to the Dead Sea and drop you back at your original destination.<\/p>\n\n\n
FROM JORDAN<\/h3>\n\n\n
On the other hand, on the Jordanian side, there has recently been a development of hotels on the shorefront that offer luxury access to the Dead Sea. This is by far the easiest and most comfortable way of visiting but be aware that many of these beaches are solely for guest use only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong>\u00a0Some hotels in Jordan offer day passes to access the sea and there are also a number of public beaches you can visit. These will be cheaper, but will not include many of the amenities that the hotels have (freshwater showers, towels, parasols), which is a huge plus for washing the super salty water off your skin. Personally, I highly recommend booking a hotel for this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWorry-not, as you can find my top recommended hotels down below<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Best Dead Sea tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Beach](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dead-sea-beach-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re not down for a hotel stay but you also don\u2019t want to stress about your Dead Sea visit, one of my most important pieces of advice is to book an organised tour that will take care of everything. As I mentioned above, you can take trips from both Israel and Jordan and, in order to make everything easier for you, I have hand-picked some amazing options departing from both destinations. I have listed them down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A quick note: you\u2019ll see that most of these organised tours include some other destinations as well such as Madaba, Aqaba, Nebo or Petra (on the Jordanian side) or Bethlehem, Masada National Park or Ein Gedi Nature Reserve (on the Israeli side). Which is awesome – you\u2019ll get to see more cool stuff and double the fun while you\u2019re there!<\/p>\n\n\n
FROM JORDAN:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n- From Amman:<\/strong> Petra, Rum, Aqaba and Dead Sea 3-Day Tour<\/a> – my top pick! <\/strong><\/em>Especially good if you want to take your time and explore some of the highlights of Jordan;<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- From Aqaba:<\/strong> Wadi Al Mujib and Dead Sea Panoramic Tour <\/a>– if you\u2019re looking for a day trip from Aqaba instead;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Private Tour:<\/strong> Dead Sea and Baptism Site <\/a>– in case you\u2019re not passionate about large groups and want to explore this site at your own pace and with your own group of friends!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne thing to know right from the start: there are both private<\/strong> and public<\/strong> beaches at the Dead Sea.<\/p>\n\n\nWHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? <\/h3>\n\n\n
The public ones are mostly free to access, but they usually don\u2019t have a lot of amenities and they can be pretty crowded too. The private ones (usually belonging to hotels\/resorts) have an entrance fee for tourists (around, let\u2019s say, 30-40 US$) but they spoil you with luxury amenities. If you ask me, I\u2019d say it\u2019s worth it to pay the fee – or, even better, give in to the luxury of it all and just book a room at the hotel or resort. They have the best facilities, including spa treatments as well.<\/p>\n\n\n
BEACHES ON THE JORDAN SIDE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Amman Beach <\/a>– public beach, but with an entrance fee (one of the cheapest ones too) – a day pass costs 8 JOD (11,3 US$) for Dead Sea access only or 12 JOD (17 US$) to also have access to a public pool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- O Beach \/ Oh Beach <\/a>– 2km from Amman Beach, this one\u2019s a luxurious beach with perfect white sand and infinity pools. Entrance fee is 25 JOD (35 US$) and you get a free beach towel with this price;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
BEACHES ON THE ISRAELI SIDE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Ein Bokek Beach<\/a>– large public beach with plenty of free amenities and lots of resorts as well;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Kalia Beach<\/a> (Kibbutz Kalia) – lots of cool amenities as well, including a bar, restaurant, pool and more;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Biankini Siesta Beach<\/a> – it has the usual beach amenities, plus a pretty nice Moroccan restaurant;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ein Gedi Beach<\/a> – free public beach<\/b>; This one has showers and even a place to set up your tent if you\u2019re up for camping;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Where to stay near the Dead Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n![\"Melissa](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-325.jpeg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n![\"Melissa](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-326.jpeg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you are looking to stay close to the Dead Sea, then stopping in one of the hotels on the shorefront itself would be the best idea. This will give you private, free and easy access to the Dead Sea and access to the spas as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are my best recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n
ON THE JORDAN SIDE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Holiday Inn Resort Dead Sea<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- M\u00f6venpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
ON THE ISRAELI SIDE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Isrotel Dead Sea Hotel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Crowne Plaza Dead Sea Hotel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hod Hamidbar Hotel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In case you don\u2019t want to book a hotel room just to enjoy a little bit of floating in the Dead Sea, here is a list of hotels that offer a day pass for beach access even if you\u2019re not staying there<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- M\u00f6venpick Resort & Spa <\/a>– day pass costs 55 JOD (77.6 US$) and includes a 15 JOD (21 US$) food voucher<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Marriott Resort & Spa <\/a>– day pass costs 50 JOD (70.5 US$) and includes a 25 JOD (35 US$) food voucher<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Holiday Inn Resort Dead Sea <\/a>– day pass costs 45 JOD (63.5 US$) and includes buffet lunch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ramada Resort by Wyndham <\/a>– day pass costs 25 JOD (35 US$) and includes buffet lunch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
TIP: <\/strong>If you\u2019re on a budget, there is the option to stay at hotels that are located further away, but these would require private transport to the beaches at the Dead Sea as the distance would be too far to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nFind more Dead Sea Accommodations<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>How to get to the Dead Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-get-to-the-dead-sea-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGetting to the Dead Sea by public transport poses somewhat of a challenge to even the most battle-hardened travellers. Sadly, in Jordan, public transport in the area is sparse and doesn\u2019t seem to operate other than on a Friday, which is mainly for locals attending their Sabbath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means that taxis and organised day trips (see my recommendations above<\/a>) are your best bet in terms of getting to the Dead Sea or the hotels around it. Here are some taxi trip price references:<\/p>\n\n\n\nAMMAN TO THE DEAD SEA:<\/strong> 60 km, 1 hour, around 40 JOD (56.5 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nAQABA TO THE DEAD SEA:<\/strong> 273 km, 3 hours, around 100 JOD (141 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWADI RUM TO THE DEAD SEA:<\/strong> 303 km, 4 hours, around 120 JOD (169 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nPETRA TO THE DEAD SEA: <\/strong>198 km. 3 hours, 80 JOD (112.8 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWADI MUSA TO THE DEAD SEA: <\/strong>135 km, 2.5 hours, 70 JOD (98 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTEL AVIV TO THE DEAD SEA: <\/strong>170 km, 2 hours, 707 ILS (216 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nJERUSALEM TO THE DEAD SEA:<\/strong> 116 km, 1 hour, 350 ILS (107 US$)<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlternatively, if you\u2019re in Israel, you can usually travel from Tel-Aviv (on the 421 bus that runs once a day) or from Jerusalem (bus route 486 that runs five times a day), but the journey will be around three hours one way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\nWHY IS THE DEAD SEA DEAD?<\/h3>\n\n\n
If you\u2019re wondering why the Dead Sea is called the Dead Sea – the answer is simple! The water here has a salt concentration of 34.2% (10 times more than ocean water), so it\u2019s basically impossible for any aquatic beings or plants to live in it.<\/p>\n\n\n
HOW WAS THE DEAD SEA FORMED?<\/h3>\n\n\n
The Dead Sea was formed millions of years ago when it was only a simple saltwater lagoon, connected to the Mediterranean Sea. After the tectonic plates shifted, the water connection to the ocean was lost, so the Dead Sea transformed into a lake that became saltier and saltier as the water evaporated over time.<\/p>\n\n\n
HOW BIG IS THE DEAD SEA?<\/h3>\n\n\n
Well, truth be told, it\u2019s pretty small! It\u2019s more the size of a lake, at only 60 km in length and 8-12 km in width.<\/p>\n\n\n
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THE DEAD SEA?<\/h3>\n\n\n
The busiest time at the Dead Sea is during spring (March to May) because of the nice temperatures and lower chances of rain. June is also a very good month to visit, as the temperatures are not too hot yet.<\/p>\n\n\n
ALL ABOUT THE DEAD SEA MUD BENEFITS<\/h3>\n\n\n
The Dead Sea mud is said to be a thing of legend. You\u2019ll see people caking it onto their bodies and faces, letting it dry out in the sun until it cracks before washing it off in the sea. This mud is found all around the seabed and it is known to have a whole lot of health benefits, backed up by extensive research. These include: improving skin conditions such as Psoriasis, arthritic pain relief, soothing chronic back pain, helps treat acne, reducing skin impurities – and more. BUT! If you have hypersensitive skin, check that you don\u2019t have any sensitivities to any of the minerals it contains or speak to your doctor or dermatologist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>BONUS #2: Useful tips to know before bathing in the Dead Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Melissa](\"https:\/\/girlaroundtheworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bathing-in-the-dead-sea-1024x619.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n- I know you want to, but it\u2019s best to NOT spend a huge amount of time in the water – it will dry out your skin;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Speaking of which\u2026 you might want to take a swimsuit that you\u2019re not in love with, as the salty water can, sadly, discolour it and the mud gets everywhere;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid wearing jewellery because swimming in the Dead Sea will have it tarnished almost instantly (everything except 24k gold);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- IMPORTANT!<\/strong><\/em> – Do everything you can to avoid getting the water in your eyes! Take it from me – it stings like hell! And don\u2019t forget to bring a towel to dry your wet hands after you get out of the water – you don\u2019t want to touch your eyes with your wet hands\u2026 again, it stings!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid shaving for a couple of days before taking a dip in the Dead Sea – Some people mentioned that stings as well!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t forget your flip flops – there are some rocks and salt shards here and there;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t forget to hydrate!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
