Dead Sea: Private Half-Day Tour Floating Experience from Amman

Firstly, we do have to say that our guide was a 5/5. He was amazing and this review is not due to any issues with him! But, this half-day tour is VERY expensive. Even more expensive than our private full-day tour to Peta and Wadi Rum with a different operator!! The itinerary seems a bit misleading too, as we thought we would see some Salt crystals like in the company tour pictures, but we only went to the Holiday Inn, had lunch and got driven back to the hotel again. However, the experience was great, we are glad we did it, but we do feel it should have been much cheaper.

Amazing experience and the guide was gracious. It was not over crowded and we enjoyed the trip. We stopped by a shop selling Dead Sea products on the way back.

Really great trip. Bader was a really nice guy and very accommodating- fitted in a trip to the River Jordan before visiting the Dead Sea. Fun experience ‘swimming’ in the sea and applying the mud! No time pressure was put on us on how long we wanted to stay there. A very worthwhile trip.

Description of the area and very personable driver who gave us a lot of information. Very significant distance down to the Dead Sea from Amman.

The Tourguide Sami was such a nice and polite person. The trip was very pleasant and relaxing with him. He is the best Tourguide I have ever had! Floating on the Dead Sea was really fun. And the subsequent sunbathing and lunch in holiday inn were enjoyable as well. For this tour I think it is a good idea to book the 5-star holiday inn and lunch. You need the facilities such as shower to enjoy Dead Sea.

Our driver and tour guide Badar was amazing, would do it again just because of him. While it was hot, the hotel was perfect for cooling off.

Mahmoud was the one of the nicest people I've ever met. He let us take our time at the Dead Sea and pointed out many other sights along our drive. He stopped to get us ice cream as a surprise and happily took our photos when we asked. 10/10 would recommend!

This was a wonderful half day trip to the Dead Sea. The driver was professional and able to share more about not only the topic, but also Jordan in general. I never felt rushed with my time by the driver, which allowed me to relax by the Dead Sea.

My driver, Mazen, was lovely and made me feel very safe and in good hands, which is always greatly appreciated, especially as a solo female traveller. He answered all my questions and gave me more of an insight into Jordan and the dead sea. Once we arrived at the dead sea, he said I could take my time so I could enjoy myself, so I didn't feel rushed and I was able to enjoy the full experience. He even bought me water for the journey and offered to drop my sunglasses back at my hostel when I left them in his car! Great experience - highly recommend.

Bader was an excellent driver and historian. He met me at the hotel on time and took me to the Holiday Inn. He told me the etiquette of swimming in the Dead Sea and how to do the mud bath. He showed me the way to the changing room and to the bathroom. After the mud bath and swimming in the Dead Sea, I met him in the lobby for some coffee until the buffet opened at 1pm. The buffet is great with a large selection of salad, meats, desserts. You can buy a Pepsi for an extra 3 JOD. Bader then took me to a Dead Sea store where the manager explained all the products in the most hassle free, pressure free, stress free way and allowed me to roam the store on my own. I purchased some mud baths and soaps and took me back to my hotel in Amman. We started at 9am and returned at 3pm. He speaks Russian, Ukrainian, English and Arabic fluently.
