Hotels in Sweimeh

2 hotels

Sweimeh sits on the northeastern shore of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth's surface, in western Jordan. The town lies within the Jordan Valley, a short drive from the capital Amman and close to the border with the West Bank. Travellers staying here find themselves beside hypersaline waters famous for effortless floating and mineral-rich mud long prized for skin treatments. The surrounding landscape is stark desert, with cliffs and hills rising sharply from the sea's edge. Nearby, the site of Jesus's baptism at Bethany Beyond the Jordan draws pilgrims from around the world, while the ancient mosaic city of Madaba and the hilltop fortress of Mukawir, where John the Baptist was imprisoned, sit within easy reach. The area's hot springs and nature reserves add further appeal, and the Dead Sea Panoramic Complex offers sweeping views across the water to the hills of Israel and the Palestinian territories.
