Great time at the dead sea - Faisal was an awesome driver and we had a great time! He was very knowledgeable and the car had wifi which was a nice perk. He even let us stop at a few places to take photos which was nice. The resort was very nice and the meal was delicious. It wasn’t crowded at all and there were maybe less than 10 people there. Make sure you bring crocs or water shoes as there are rocks when you get into the water. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely do it again.

Excellent experience - Omar arrived early in a lovely new car. The drive was quick and easy. The Dead Sea experience was brilliant fun and the buffet lunch afterwards was delicious with a really nice range of salads and desserts.

A Day on the Dead Sea - On the whole were satisfied with the trip, but not enough time - since the weather was windy, it was never possible to fully swim in the Dead Sea, strong waves swept in, also a lot of debris floated nearby. There was also no time to walk to the warm pool with a Jacuzzi. We spent time on the grounds of the Holiday Inn- there are many staircases on the grounds, so you need to calculate the time correctly so that you do not go from the beach to the restaurant and back, many went to lunch with their things already fully dressed. As for lunch-- this time it was on the menu, the portions were large, we even asked to pack with us, since there was a lot we didn't eat. I had to fill out the waiver paper, though. In the hustle and bustle, we ended up being forgotten to provide dessert, but we gave up on it - and it took a long time.
Special thanks to the driver Omar - all clear, professional, sympathetic

Relaxing Trip to the Dead Sea - Ahmed was our driver and made everything great! He was on time and was so nice and hospitable, and even stopped to grab us some snacks and coffee. He showed us some cool spots on the way and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. The resort is nice as well and you can swim in the dead sea and in the pool/jacuzzi. The weather was good (64° and sunny) and the water was warm. Ahmed even took us to a factory/store where they create and sell cosmetic products made from materials from the Dead Sea. He was very funny and kind, I definitely recommend this tour and Ahmed!! Everything went well, Thank you for everything.

Great Dead Sea visit - Great day. Picked up on time by Omar who was very pleasant and driven to Dead Sea with couple of stops on route for pictures. Unfortunately very misty. Arrived at resort, towels provided and easy access to Dead Sea for floating. Lunch later, good selection of hot , cold and dessert dishes.
Back to Amman with stop for Dead Sea products shop.
Well managed trip. Thank you

Great tour with Omar! - At the beginning of the trip, our driver offered to take us to the Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ and Mount Nebo for 30 JOD extra for the two of us. We agreed to this as we’d not had an opportunity to visit these sites beforehand. The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ cost 12 JOD per person for entry, and this included a group tour guide, and it lasted for around 2 hours. We later went to the Crown Plaza to go into the dead sea and then have a buffet lunch.
Later on, we went to Mount Nepo, which costed 3 JOD per person, but this is cash only (card not accepted).
The whole day took around 8-9 hours from Amman and back, including these two additional site stops.
Our driver, Omar, was great and gave us waters throughout the journeys. He also showed us the facilities at the dead sea resort, and stopped at a few points to take photos for us.
This day trip was definitely worth it. The dead sea was a lot warmer than expected, and the climate is a lot warmer than in Amman. We did this trip in late December, and it was definitely warm enough to go into the sea. We were taken to the Holiday Inn resort at first, but due to an event, the beach was closed, so we were taken to another hotel with the same rating, which was also nice, called the Crown Plaza resort. The buffet food was very good, and the hotel surroundings were also nice.

Ommar the best driver - Best experience! We made a last minute booking the night before for a 10am departure in the following day. Ommar happened to be the best driver ever! A great gentleman with amazing energy and hospitality. He not only provided driving, but also beautiful smiles, funny jokes, great photo taking and fantastic local music! Highly recommend! Ommar is a charming professional and entertaining driver you don’t want to miss!

Amazing to float in Dead Sea but…… - Our driver Awni was excellent and very informative. The lifeguard at the beach and attendant in the change room were very helpful and attentive. However, the Grand East hotel was at best a 3 star hotel and the lunch was a bus tour type buffet—unremarkable
