More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive from Amman with highway light sliding past the bus window and the land opening into the Wadi Zarqa Ma'in valley. Steam rises from fissures in the rock as the hot springs make themselves known — a series of cascading pools falling into shaded basins where mineral-rich water hisses at the cool air.

History
Romans and later rulers used the Ma'in thermal waters for bathing and therapy; the Dead Sea region is referenced in ancient texts and archaeological sites nearby.
Conservation
The Dead Sea’s water level is dropping due to regional water diversion and evaporation; visitors can help by minimizing single‑use plastics and following signposted access to reduce shoreline erosion.

Bring water and hydrate before soaking
Drink water before and after time in hot springs and the Dead Sea to counteract dehydration from heat and salt.
Protect your feet
Wear water shoes for slippery rock at Ma'in and coarse salt near the Dead Sea shoreline.
Limit Dead Sea immersion
Float for short intervals and rinse off between dips; prolonged exposure can irritate skin and eyes.
Schedule around sun and heat
Aim for morning or late afternoon to avoid peak sun and better lighting for photos and comfort.
Swimsuit
Required for hot spring baths and Dead Sea floats.
Water shoes
Protects feet on rocky spring edges and salty, coarse Dead Sea shorelines.
Quick-dry towel and change of clothes
Salt and mineral-rich water requires a rinse and dry change after immersion.
High SPF sunscreen and sunglasses
Strong sun over the Dead Sea reflects off water and salt — use broad protection.
