Overview
Take a trip to the Dead Sea on your Jordan Vacation
The Dead Sea is a salt lake that is shared by both Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. The surface and shores of the Dead Sea are 423 m (1,237 ft) below sea level, making it Earth’s lowest elevation on land and a fascinating place to visit on a Jordan vacation.
With 33.7% salinity, the Dead Sea is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean and is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The name comes from the fact that the salinity is so high that animals cannot survive or flourish. The water in the Dead Sea is so dense that anyone can float easily due to the natural buoyancy.
The Dead Sea has attracted visitors on Jordan tours from around the world because of reported health and therapeutic advantages. People with psoriasis have benefitted from sunbathing for long periods without worrying about harmful UV rays due to the area’s location below sea level. Dead Sea mud pack therapy is believed to temporarily relieve pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knees. There are many other therapies available making the Dead Sea a popular health tourism destination on trips to Jordan.

What do the experts say?
You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
