Within the folds of the Jordan Valley, and Rum Mountains, lies the lowest point on the face of the earth; The Dead Sea. Rich in minerals and ten times saltier than seawater, it is buoyant. No matter how large you are, or even if you don’t know how to swim, you will float! It is also a great spa; the water is so soothing and the sunrays of the Jordanian sun are filtered, the rich mineral black mud is also great treatment for skin and bone disorders.
Its importance is also biblical; it is believed to have been the home to some biblical cities from antiquity, like Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Dead Sea is evolving into a major tourist attraction in the region; new roads, hotels and archeological discoveries, make the lowest point on earth appealing to international visitors and tourists. And this has been enhanced by luxurious accommodation and fitness facilities found in the deluxe 5 stars Movenpick Hotel and Resort and the 5 stars Jordan Valley Marriott Hotel.
When visiting Jordan, your visit is not complete without a few days in the Dead Sea, and while you are there don’t forget to visit the Baptism site of Jesus Christ!
