Visitors seeking a quality Amman hotel will discover an excellent range of luxury accommodation designed to suit every taste. A fine hotel in Amman Jordan features would be the Millennium Hotel Amman, and its spacious rooms and state-of-the-art facilities provides a welcome getaway in the desert for both business and leisure travellers alike.
Desert climates run hot and Amman offers the perfect way to beat the heat with a cool, refreshing float in the Dead Sea. Its high salt content ensures no marine life can survive in its briny depths, which has earned the water body its sombre name. Yet there is nothing sombre about a Dead Sea dip, as all dippers or floaters, will have fun trying to swim when the most they can do is bob. In addition to the fun aspect, the salt-saturated water is ideal for exfoliating the skin, and has been known to help with respiration and cure skin conditions. Whether one takes a dip for health or pleasure, a few tips will provide an enjoyable experience for all Dead Sea dunkers. Wear appropriate shoes, as the shallow seabed is dotted with sharp salt crystals and can result in severe cuts. Do not shave at least two days prior to dipping, as you will discover the real meaning of pouring salt in one’s wound. Try not to put your face in the water, as this can burn the eyes to an uncomfortable degree. Remember to wear an old swimsuit as the water will easily discolour the material. Rinse whatever you were wearing after the dip, else be prepared for a stubborn layer of salt grime to stick to the clothing. So observe the tips above for a quality dip and have fun in the salty sea!
