Amman Beach, The Dead Sea

Dead sea is a big salt lake located betwen Jordan and Israel, with the elevation of 422-m below sea level, this place is a lowest point of land in the world. It has a very high salinity of 33.7% due to evaporation, makes no (or very small) living organism can live there, hence it has the name as dead sea.
This place has a lot of role in the biblical time and was known as the place where Sodom and Gomorrah used to located before they're destroyed and dissapeared. The mineral content of dead sea is famous to be used for balm for eqyptian mummy, fertilizer and now it's used for many cosmetic products.
Along the shore of dead seas, plenty of chained-luxurios hotels/resorts located and charges for a lot of money from rich tourists to have a leisure times in the sea. Especially because this part of Jordan has slightly war,er climate compare to other parts.
For budget tourists normally, as what I did, just headed to a public beach called Amman beach, which charge JD10 for adult and has a look-nice swimming pool and some restaurants (who cares to swim in the pool where the sea is there?) and a nice part of Dead Sea, where there are a lot of people just dip themselves, wether it's just for the sake of curiousity (as what I did) or some beauty treatment after covering themselves with black mud mask.

This reviewer had the opportunity to drive the entire length of the Dead Sea to see how magnificent it really is. I noticed, though, that until you reach the area known as Suweimah, you will not find any beaches. However, this area is where all the Dead Sea hotels are and also a public beach. Now, if you have the money to stay in the hotel and make use of the private beach, go for it! I, however, was on a budget and that was not something I could afford. So, I found a very nice beach called Amman Beach. It costs 10 JD to enter, but inside it has free lockers, a fresh water pool, restaurant, ice cream, plenty of places to sit, etc. It also has access to the Dead Sea where you can go for a float! I would not miss this opportunity, floating in the lowest point on Earth is a great experience...and everything you hear is true! You really can't sink in the thing!
