Private 1-Day Tour to Dead Sea from Aqaba

Your private driver-guide will collect you from your Aqaba hotel at 7am, ready for the 3-hour drive from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. Along the way, admire desert landscapes, including the Mujib Biosphere Reserve, where you'll see the natural rock formation supposed to represent Lot's wife.

Descend 1,407 feet (429 meters) below sea level to where this lake, so salty that nothing can live in it, shimmers against the background of the desert. Enjoy the unique experience of bobbing on the super-salty waters – they're so rich in salt and minerals that it's almost impossible to sink. Salve yourself in therapeutic mud and dense white clay.

Depending on your budget and interests, your guide will direct you to a resort that's right for you, where you can lounge by the pool, indulge in Dead Sea spa treatments, and savor lunch looking across the Dead Sea to Israel.

When you're ready to return, just let your driver know. You'll be back at your hotel in around three hours.
