Wellness Tips
Make the most of your wellness experience.
Dead Sea floating is an unforgettable wellness experience — limit time to 15-20 minutes maximum and shower immediately after to prevent skin irritation from the extreme salinity
Book spa appointments in advance during peak season (March-May, September-November) especially at Dead Sea resort spas which fill up quickly
Traditional hammams in downtown Amman (Hammam Al-Pasha) offer authentic experiences at a fraction of hotel spa prices
The Dead Sea's mineral-rich waters have documented therapeutic effects for psoriasis, eczema, and joint conditions — a week-long stay is recommended for therapeutic benefit
Many Dead Sea resorts offer day-use packages ($40-80) including beach, pools, and sometimes spa credit — excellent value for non-guests
Jordanian olive oil and Dead Sea mineral products make excellent wellness souvenirs — buy directly from Dead Sea resort shops or the Jordan River Foundation
Altitude in Amman (860m) and desert dryness mean dehydration happens quickly — drink at least 3 liters of water daily during spa and wellness activities
