Timing matters
Visit Jerash in the morning to avoid midday heat and save the Dead Sea float for the calmer afternoon hours.
Skin protection
Use high-SPF, water-resistant sunscreen and reapply—salt and sun together intensify exposure.
Protect small cuts
Avoid shaving before your Dead Sea dip and cover any open wounds; the high salinity stings and slows healing.
Hydration and rinse
Drink water continuously and rinse with fresh water after floating to remove salt and mineral residue.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed-toe shoes for uneven terrain at Jerash and traction on ruined steps.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Necessary for floating at the Dead Sea and for using resort facilities.
