Amman Dead Sea Pink Lake and Salt Beach Private Tour

The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 meters. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers toward the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.

Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.

The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theater located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honor of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.

Though it is not directly in the Dead Sea, this lake has become an increasingly popular destination for travellers due to its unusual and captivating colour, which ranges from a deep pink to a light lavender hue depending on the time of day and seasonal conditions. The Pink Lake’s distinctive colour comes from the presence of certain types of microorganisms, particularly Dunaliella salina, a type of algae. These algae thrive in the high salt concentration of the lake, which is similar to the environment of the Dead Sea. Dunaliella salina produces a pigment known as beta-carotene, which gives the water its reddish-pink tone. This pigment also provides the lake with a rich, vibrant appearance, particularly during the warm summer months when the algae bloom in abundance.

Salt Beach, located on the eastern shores of the Dead Sea, is a captivating destination renowned for its unique landscapes and therapeutic properties. The beach is characterized by sparkling white salt formations along its shoreline, creating a surreal and mesmerizing environment.

Not only the lowest spot on earth, but also the saltiest and most mineral-laden body of water in the world, the Dead Sea, which joins Israel and Jordan, is legendary as a source of healing, and has become a popular center for health, rehabilitation and beauty treatments.
