I'm a certified ADDICT! The Dead Sea, Jordan


Get Muddy with Dead Sea's natural mineral rich mud.

Frolick!

Float! The Dead sea is so salty that nothing can withstand it, hence the name, and you float. It is so much fun!

Rinse with fresh water! The Middle East also has hammans and Turkish Baths where you can go to steam, relax, and have a body scrub and full body massage. Afterwards, you wind down in the tearoom until you are ready to leave. These are also everyday practices (back in the day, these were public baths) and today cost less than 10 USD. They are one of favourite things in the whole wide world, but because of the steam photography is impossible.

The Spas!!! Get Muddy! Unlike the West where spas are synonymous with luxury and saved for special occasions due to high cost, in the East they are everyday healthy living practices.

Bake!

Rinse!

Soak in mineral rich water! Afterwards, you go inside and have a 1 hour massage. It is heaven!!! Total cost: 10 USD
