HOW TO GET THERE

The Dead Sea is a popular day trip from Amman and many Jordanians go there on a Friday.

Drive about 30km south of the main Hotel Resort area along the coast, until you reach the Mujib Bridge, where a small Nature Reserve office is located. It is advisable to call in advance.

Lot's Cave:

The Dead Sea is the safest place in the world to sunbathe. The vapour that rises from the continuously evaporating surface of the sea, acts as a natural filter for potentially harmful UV-B rays.


The Dead Sea is 80 kilometres (50 miles) long, approximately 14 kilometres (9 miles) wide. The northern and larger part is very deep, reaching at one point a depth of 430m (1320 feet). The southern bay is, on the contrary, very shallow, averaging hardly a depth of 4m (13 feet).


The water level of the Dead Sea is dropping by about a 30cm (1 foot) per year. It is being diverted by Israel and Jordan for industry, agriculture and household use. Scientists predict that the sea may be dried up by the year 2050.
