Quick facts
When to go
The lowest point on earth: float effortlessly in mineral-rich water, hike dramatic canyons, and walk where Moses saw the Promised Land.
Mar – May, Oct – Nov is the busiest window in Dead Sea, so accommodation and flights go first. Book ahead. The shoulder weeks either side are usually quieter for the same reason.
Getting Around in Dead Sea
- The Dead Sea Highway runs the length of the Jordanian shore. A rental car (JOD 25–35/day) is the most flexible way to explore the region
- Taxis from Amman: JOD 15–20 one-way, JOD 40–50 for a full day with waiting. Arrange return transport in advance, as taxis are scarce at the Dead Sea
- JETT bus runs Amman to the Dead Sea resorts on Fridays and Saturdays (JOD 10 return). Limited schedule, so check jett.com.jo
