Director General of the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB), Abdulrazzaq Arabiat, said that the Dead Sea is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in the Kingdom, as it is the lowest point in the world and hosts sites for religious tourism, such as the Baptism Site and a number of Sahaba Shrines (companions the Prophet Mohammad), along with hotels and services related to therapeutics and cosmetics.

Arabiat also noted that the climate is moderate in the winter and hot in the summer, and the oxygen percentage is about 10 percent higher than places at normal sea level.
Nader Al-Qadri, a tour operator at the Dead Sea, said that local and foreign tourists can both find something to enjoy. Qadri said that the locals are usually drawn to the entertainment facilities and services in hotels such as concerts, children's playgrounds, and good food.
Foreign tourists are usually drawn to the sea, high temperatures, and the therapeutic and cosmetic products the Dead Sea has to offer.

As for Nasr Tayeh, a manager of one of the hotels at the Dead Sea, he pointed out that many foreign tourist seek to relax and enjoy the sea and its low altitude.
He added that October, November, and December are the months dedicated to relaxation and enjoyment, while March, April, and May draw tourists for treatment, due to the compatibility of the temperatures and the treatment of some skin diseases such as eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, and others.

Amani Al-Khalayleh, a frequent visitor to the Dead Sea, said: “Me and my family used to visit the Dead Sea twice a year, once during the winter and once during the spring, because the temperature is moderate and our visit is for the purpose of treatment and entertainment.”
