For 16JD I would expect much more, the beach is not very nice. There are some seats and metal frames (tables?) on the beach which are very old and dirty. At the time that I went, which was first thing in the morning, the showers and changing rooms were dirty. Overall, the beach is functional, mine was a flying visit... More

The complex has swimming pools, restaurant, restrooms and changing rooms. Tower costs 1 JD - bring your own. The lunch buffet is 12 JD. More

If you just want to experience floating in the Dead Sea without paying exorbitant day use fees at resorts, Amman Beach is a good option. 16JD will get you through the door, and they have freshwater (cold) showers so you can rinse the salt off. They have basic but sufficient amenities if you just want to experience swimming in the... More

If you want to have a swim in the Dead Sea in Jordan you have three options; stay in one of the luxory resorts along the Northern shore, pay the entrance fee to the Amman Beach or do it for free more or less anywhere else. The resorts accept day visitors, but it's still more expensive then Amman Beach, which... More

I was not too impressed with the Amman beach even though I had an enjoyable experience swimming in the sea. I visited mid-March 2012 and had no issues with flies or bugs. Entry was 16JD, towels and locker keys (from the unmarked dark wooden shack) were an additional 1.5JD each + deposit. There are two large unheated pools in addition... More

It's a decent place to get to know the Dead Sea, and there is also a pool and basic services. The standards are not the best, but these are proportonial for what to pay as fee. However, I have to say that it was full of local and foreign (from neighbours areas) men sat in chairs with cameras (both pictures... More

I went to Amman Beach when I visited the Dead Sea because i had very limited time and was travelling on a budget. I didn't want to spend 30-50JD on a hotel + spa experience when I would only have 45min or so at the Dead Sea. if you have longer time, ie a whole morning or day then I... More

I really enjoyed my time here. I went on a Friday morning so it wasn't very crowded or too hot yet, and recommend that. . Stayed in for quite a while and really enjoyed it - it's really not harsh on your skin and it's very relaxing. Nice views from the beach and patio above it. Costs 15 JD to... More
