![]() ![]() Just a very relaxed and controlled float. But you really don’t want to get the Dead Sea in your face, so just float and don’t get it above your neck (my recommendation). Usually, the lifeguard on duty will help you with water on hand to help you rinse your eye. ![]() It’s one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced. The tiniest drop of water in your eyes will momentarily blind you as it is so salty. If you put the mud on your face DO NOT use the Dead Sea to wash it off-in general, avoid splashing around completely. I’m not sure what kind of magic is in the mud, but if you’re wanting to discover the marvelous wonders of the Dead Sea for yourself, here are my tips for visiting!Īfter the 15-20 minutes, go into the Dead Sea to float one last time and rinse the mud off. Get to your accommodation mid-day and leave after breakfast the next morning and you’ll have had ample time to experience the Dead Sea. So if you’re trying to fit a bunch of things into your Jordan itinerary-do not fret. When I visit (and when most other folks visit) a trip to the Dead Sea is one of the top things…and for good reason! While the Dead Sea is often associated with Israel, it’s actually on the border of Israel and Jordan (Jordan to the East, Israel to the West).ĭid you know that it’s the lowest point of land on Earth at over 400 meters below sea level? Oh, and fun fact: it’s got over 30% salinity (that’s the salt to water ratio…about 10 times more salt than typical seawater!), because the water is so dense that’s what allows you to effortlessly float.Īlthough I like to take my time, you really don’t need more than one night. The more I visit Jordan, the more I fall in love.
