Why The Dead Sea is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers
Tucked at Earth's lowest dry-land elevation (-430 metres below ocean level), Jordan's eastern Dead Sea shore feels like a sunlit Mediterranean oasis warmed by desert mountains. UK guests glide effortlessly reading a book atop ultra-saline turquoise waters, indulge in velvety mineral-rich black mud rituals, lounge across cascading olive-tree infinity pools at Kempinski Ishtar, and explore dramatic nearby Wadi Mujib gorges.
Insider Tips & Secret Spots in The Dead Sea
- ✓Wait at least 24 hours after shaving before stepping into the hyper-saline Dead Sea and avoid splashing your eyes — limit each buoyant float to 15 serene minutes.
- ✓End your Jordan itinerary at the Dead Sea (just 55 mins from Amman Airport) rather than starting there, easing tired sightseeing legs right before flying home.
- ✓Stop en route along dramatic Mount Nebo ridge where Moses gazed over the Jordan Valley & tour ancient Byzantine mosaic maps in Madaba.
- ✓Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea boasts nine infinity pools descending through private Babylonian lagoon gardens down to calm beaches.

“Floating at minus 430 metres cured all our Petra walking legs!”
Finishing at the Kempinski Ishtar after exciting days inside Petra and Wadi Rum felt like floating on warm silk. Even in November the sunlit afternoon temperatures sat beautifully around 26°C.
