The Dead Sea eastern coast in Jordan is one of
the most spectacular natural and spiritual
landscapes in the whole world. A series of new
roads, hotels and archaeological discoveries are
converging to make this region, the lowest spot
on earth at 410 metres below sea level, as
enticing to international visitors today as it
was to kings, emperors, traders and prophets in
antiquity.
The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the
warm, soothing, super-salty seawater, which is
nine times saltier than Mediterranean sea water.
It is rich in chloride salts of magnesium,
sodium and potassium, in bromine, potash and
several other minerals and salts. This unusually
salty, buoyant and mineral-rich water has
attracted visitors since ancient times, all of
whom have floated effortlessly on their backs
while soaking up the water's healthy minerals
along with the more gentle, filtered rays of the
Jordanian sun.
The Dead Sea's total attraction is due to its
unique combination of several factors: the
chemical composition of its water, the filtered
sun rays and oxygen-rich air, the mineral-rich
black mud along the shoreline, and the adjacent
fresh water and thermal mineral springs.
The three beach hotels with their adjacent spa
facilities - Movenpick Resort & Spa and Jordan
Valley Marriott Resort (5-stars), and the Dead
Sea Spa (4-star) - allows visitors to stay in
the Dead Sea area while exploring its many
attractions.
