Private Dead Sea and Amman Sightseeing Tour
About this activity
Combine a refreshing float in the mineral-rich Dead Sea with a guided sightseeing loop through Amman's layered history—from ancient Citadel ruins to bustling downtown souks and modern districts—all in a private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. This 6-hour tour pairs Jordan's most otherworldly natural wonder with its vibrant capital in a single outing.
Leave Amman in your private comfortable air-conditioned vehicle with your English-Speaking Driver to visit the Dead Sea and the Desert of Moab, 55 kilometers from Amman – the lowest point on earth, 400 meters under sea level and the world’s first natural spa. Then, take a panoramic tour of Amman’s top attractions including the Citadel viewpoint, the downtown souks, and views of the city's mosques, churches, and historical Jabal Al-Webdeih and Jabal Amman ancient quarters, besides proceeding to the new modern part of Amman’s capital. If you wish to upgrade to add a visit to the nearby Iraq Al Amir caves and pre-Roman Qasr al-Abed palace. Return to your hotel included.

Insider tips
- ★Bring a swimsuit and towel; the Dead Sea's buoyancy requires no swimming skill, but water temperature and mineral content can feel intense—ease in gradually
- ★Visit the Citadel early in the tour to avoid midday heat and capture the best light for Amman panoramas
- ★Souks are liveliest in late afternoon; negotiate politely but don't feel pressured to buy—browsing alone is welcomed
Good to know
- •Hotel pickup and drop-off included; confirm location with supplier before booking
- •Private vehicle accommodates small groups; ideal for families or those preferring flexibility over large tours
- •Bring sunscreen, hat, and water; Dead Sea sun exposure intensifies due to high mineral content and low altitude
- •Citadel and souk areas are walkable but involve some stairs and uneven terrain; limited wheelchair access on souk floors
- •English-speaking driver provides commentary; not a formal guided tour with in-depth historical narration
Who it's for
Best time to visit
Early morning departure maximizes daylight for both Dead Sea swimming and Amman sightseeing. Visit October–April for comfortable temperatures; summer heat (May–September) can be intense at low altitude, though quieter for souks.
