From the serene views of the Dead Sea to the star-lit sky of the Wadi Rum desert, Jordan is filled with immensely unique locations that help nourish the mind, body, and soul.

In celebration of Global Wellness Day on June 8, here are some of Jordan’s best wellness experiences.

2. A natural wonder and the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea is one of the most spectacular places to experience wellness. The sea’s most popular feature is its extremely salty, warm, and soothing body of water that is full of rich minerals. The Dead Sea also consists of black and mineral-infused mud that is renowned for its ability to reduce skin impurities. Guests can enjoy Dead Sea-focused body treatments at one of the many 5-star hotel spas in the area such as the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar or merely float in the water and allow for their body to obtain all its benefits. Additionally, the scenic views of the Dead Sea are magical, especially at sunset.

3. Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert is comprised of beautiful sandstone mountains, narrow canyons, red-colored rolling dunes, and a star-filled sky in the evenings. The serenity and fresh air of the desert coupled with its majestic features provides visitors an opportunity to sit still, camp in nature, and disconnect from life’s busyness.

4. The lush greenery and countless valleys in Jordan make it an ideal destination for a tranquil cycling or walking experience in nature. For example, there are many trails in the historic city of Umm Qais that is suspended on a hilltop overlooking the Jordan Valley and the Sea of Galilee. It has become a favored spot to explore, especially during the spring season, for its rolling hills, farmlands, and stunning landscape.
