The best time to visit Jordan… hotels at the lowest prices in Petra and the Dead Sea
These reduced prices offer opportunities to host tourist groups from around the world, enjoy the summer atmosphere, and access Jordan's most prominent archaeological and tourist sites.
Jordan's 5-star hotels, most of which operate under international hotel brands, are distinguished by their high-quality hospitality services, their extensive understanding of the needs of foreign tourists, and their provision of an unparalleled tourist experience.
Petra is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and contains many archaeological sites dating back to the Nabataean civilization. This city is carved into the rocks. It is also famous for the Siq, which extends between a rocky cleft leading to the heart of the Rose City and the Treasury Square. On the other side, there are many historical landmarks.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point in the world, and it has a special advantage in terms of treatment and medical tourism.
The Dead Sea is one of the most important tourist areas for environmental healing in the world. It is characterized by a group of natural factors that have made it a competitive position in the region in the field of medical tourism and healing. This is due to its unique climatic characteristics, whether it is free of humidity, or it contains sulfur springs that make it qualified to treat many diseases, especially skin diseases, which are widespread, as the number of those afflicted with them in Europe reaches 25 million patients, in addition to treating rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, the Dead Sea area possesses important elements for tourist attraction, not only in medical tourism, but also in its distinction in entertainment tourism and environmental tourism.
The World Health Organization's designation of the Dead Sea region as a global center for the treatment of many skin diseases in 2011 demonstrates the region's importance in medical tourism. Many hotels located on the Dead Sea coast offer natural treatments based on the region's unique natural properties, without the use of any chemical medications.
Numerous studies confirm that the Dead Sea region, with its therapeutic benefits, can generate the greatest financial return for tourism in Jordan, given that the incidence of skin diseases ranges between 1 and 3% of the population.
Conference tourism at the Dead Sea has also witnessed significant development in recent times. The Dead Sea region has become a hub for this type of tourism, organizing conferences, seminars, and meetings at all levels, locally, regionally, and internationally. Specialized entities are responsible for organizing these meetings and conferences, providing services that go beyond the official aspect of the conference, but also include tourism and entertainment services for participants.
Jordan established the Dead Sea Conference and Exhibition Company in 2003 with the participation of a group of Jordanian and Arab investors. The company's first project was the construction of the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center, which hosts major regional and international events and conferences.
This project has contributed to placing Jordan on the global map for business and investment forums, as the center has hosted the World Economic Forum more than once.
Jordan annually organizes a Dead Sea running marathon, with the participation of thousands of citizens and tourists, starting from Amman and ending at the touristic Amman beach overlooking the Dead Sea. This event is held to support brain and nerve patients in the Kingdom.
Dead Sea Laboratories also produces numerous cosmetics made from minerals extracted from its mud. These products are available in stores throughout Jordan, or can be ordered online and delivered anywhere in the world, so visitors can continue to enjoy the benefits of the Dead Sea long after they return home.
