Will I actually float in the Dead Sea?

Yes. The Dead Sea's salinity (approximately 34% dissolved minerals) is so high that your body naturally floats without effort—even if you can't swim. Relaxation is guaranteed.

What's included in the standard tour vs. the hotel upgrade?

Standard tour: private vehicle transport, driver, access to a reserved waterfront area, and free swim time. Hotel upgrade adds: outdoor pools, shower facilities, changing rooms, and à la carte spa services (Dead Sea mud scrubs and massages charged separately).

How long do I actually spend in the water?

The tour allocates 'ample free time' at the waterfront; with 5 hours total and 110km travel time, expect 2–3 hours of genuine beach and swim time depending on your pace and facility choice.

Is this suitable for non-swimmers or people with mobility limits?

Yes—the Dead Sea's natural buoyancy requires no swimming ability. Check mobility access at your chosen facility (standard waterfront vs. hotel); hotel upgrades typically offer easier beach access and changing facilities.

What should I bring and what shouldn't I?

Bring: swimwear, a change of clothes, sunscreen, water, and a waterproof bag. Avoid: jewelry (salt can damage metals), perfume or aftershave (minerals intensify skin sensitivity), and valuables left unattended.

Can I book spa treatments, and do they cost extra?

Spa treatments (mud scrubs, massages) are available only if you upgrade to the hotel package, and they are charged separately at the facility. Book upgrades in advance to secure spots, especially on weekends.

About this activity

Escape Amman's urban core on a curated half-day journey to the Dead Sea, Earth's lowest point at 400m below sea level. Float effortlessly in the hyper-saline waters and experience the mineral-rich environment that has attracted wellness seekers for millennia.

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.

Visit a water’s edge private area and enjoy ample free time to swim in the waters, lounge on the beach, and absorb the beautiful setting. Alternatively, upgrade to a hotel with a wider range of facilities, including outdoor swimming pools, showers, and a stylish spa offering Dead Sea mud treatments including revitalizing body scrub, and massages (at your own expense).

our guide Beatriz really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and ran the full 4 hours promised.
