Dead Sea Holidays
Best time to be there
March to May and September to November are best times to be in the country, but Jordan's Mediterranean climate is pleasant all year round. Lightweight clothes are advised between May and September. Warmer clothes are necessary for winter and cool summer evenings. Rainwear is needed from November to April. It has been known to snow as far south as Petra.

The Dead Sea - the lowest point on earth at 422 metres below sea level - is one of the most unique places on earth and a great place to spend a few days relaxing during your holiday to Jordan. Floating effortlessly in the saline water that is 8.6 times saltier than the oceans, is a unique sensation whilst the Dead Sea mud is famed and used to great effect in various spa treatments.
Relax and pamper yourself at one of the health spas or alternatively use the Dead Sea as a great base for exploring the surrounding region, home to fascinating sights such as Mount Nebo, Madaba and Jerash.
Stay at the Evason Ma'in and benefit from the hot spring waterfalls and the Dead Sea. We have handpicked Kempinski and the Movenpick Resort as our suggested accommodation.
