About This Tour
Escape into complete tranquility with our Dead Sea Relaxation Tour from Aqaba Port — a perfect shore excursion designed for cruise passengers seeking rest, rejuvenation, and a one-of-a-kind natural experience. The Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth at over 430 meters below sea level, is renowned for its healing waters, mineral-rich mud, and the ability to effortlessly float on its dense, salty surface.
Departing from Aqaba, you’ll enjoy a comfortable and scenic drive through the Jordanian landscape, passing desert mountains and arid valleys as you head north to the Dead Sea. Upon arrival, you’ll spend your day at one of the area’s top resort facilities, enjoying private beach access, changing rooms, pools, and spa options (optional).
The experience includes a unique chance to float in the Dead Sea — no swimming skills required! The salty water gently lifts your body to the surface, while the mineral mud is known for rejuvenating the skin and relieving joint discomfort. It’s a must-do experience for anyone visiting Jordan.
After your relaxing soak, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at the resort while overlooking the glittering sea and hills of the West Bank beyond. You’ll then have free time for sunbathing, shopping for Dead Sea skincare products, or enjoying an optional spa treatment before heading back to Aqaba in time to rejoin your cruise ship.
Whether you’re in need of healing, want to cross off a bucket-list destination, or simply want to relax in one of the most unusual and therapeutic environments on Earth, this tour is the ideal addition to your Jordan visit with Tango Travel.
