In-Depth Information
water is one of the most extraordinary aquatic experiences to be had. Add the luxury soak-
ing, massaging and therapeutic treatment that is part and parcel of a night or two in a spa
resort and you'll soon see why the Dead Sea area is a highlight of a visit to Jordan.
The attractions of the Dead Sea are no secret but there's more to the region than just the
northern strip of five-star hotels. Wadi Mujib encompasses a beautiful little nature reserve
that offers outdoor adventure, and the entire Wadi Araba is especially magnificent at sun-
set.
When to Go
Blisteringly hot and humid between May and October, and chilly between December and
January, the best time to enjoy the Dead Sea pleasure domes is around February and
November - perfect for sunny swims and balmy dinning al fresco. Catering to the peak
tourist season at this time, resorts offer live entertainment.
Those looking for adventure should aim for spring: the Dead Sea Ultra Marathon brings
physical activity to a seashore more famous for sunning than running and hikes along
water-bound Wadi Mujib are free from the danger of flash flooding.
