Jordan with its vast history, culture and spectacular land scape, has something for every traveler whether for adventure, relaxation, business or religion.
The popularity of the spa vacation has increased worldwide as many people are adopting healthier lifestyles. For this reason, Jordan has complimented its natural therapeutic sites with first class resorts offering a diverse range of amenities. The goal is to provide its visitors with a unique and relaxing experience catering to all of their health and fitness and beauty needs.
The Dead Sea
At 410m below sea level, the Dead Sea
is the lowest place on earth. Jordan’s Dead Sea coast is one of the
most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the world, and it
remains as enticing to international visitors today as it was to kings,
emperors, traders, and prophets in antiquity.
The main attraction of the Dead Sea
is of course the soothing, abnormally salty water itself. The salt
content of the water is 31.5% making the water so buoyant that it is
impossible for the visitor to sink. The water also contains 21 minerals
including high levels of magnesium, sodium, potassium, and bromine and
12 of these minerals are found in no other body of water in the world.
A trip to the Dead Sea
would not be complete without a visit to one of the first class health
spa facilities of the luxury hotels. Here the visitor can enjoy
year-round a massage, Dead Sea mud bath, use the excellent fitness
facilities, or just spend the day relaxing on their beautiful private
beaches.
Hammamat Ma’in / Ma’in Hot Springs
The wonder of Hammamat Ma’in
(Ma’in Hot Springs). Popular with both locals and tourists alike, the
springs are located 264m below sea level in one of the most breathtaking
desert oases in the world. Thousands of visiting bathers come each year
to enjoy the mineral-rich waters of these hyper-thermal waterfalls.
These falls originate from winter rainfalls in the highland plains of
Jordan and eventually feed the 109 hot and cold springs in the valley.
This water is heated to temperatures
of up to 63° Celsius by underground lava fissures as it makes its way
through the valley before emptying into the Zarqa River.
