<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - About sixty kilometers west of the capital, Amman, <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">the Dead Sea</a> extends horizontally on the edge of the collapse crater, and the panoramic view of this <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">Dead Sea</a> when viewed from the heights of the Balqa Mountains forms a blue square that reflects the color of the sky between the banks of Palestine and Jordan.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> When the visitor drives his journey by car, which takes about an hour, he reaches the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. In this place, the visitor feels the change in the air, which is saturated with the smell of salt water, as it contains a high percentage of oxygen, reaching 36%.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The head of <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">the Dead Sea</a> Association, journalist Zaid Sawalqa, points out that <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">the Dead Sea</a> has no equal on the face of the earth, and is considered a unique tourist site that combines natural, therapeutic, recreational and religious tourism.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> He adds that the weather in the <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">Dead Sea</a> region is wonderful in winter, as the temperature does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius, and the amount of rain is small.

Dermatologist Dr. Hoda Al-Qudah confirms that the sun, oxygen, or climate and air are the basic elements in treating the respiratory system, bronchitis, and asthma, and that the nature of the sun, the composition of water, and its saturation with minerals treat skin diseases, psoriasis, and asthma, noting that these measures should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Although swimming in <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">the Dead Sea</a> does not require special skills, as it is enough for a person to sit in the water to find himself floating due to the concentration of salt and the density of the water, diving or immersing the face in the water can be dangerous, as it can harm the eyes.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Discover">Choose your tourism experience now in Jordan</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <u><strong>Medical tourism in the Dead Sea</strong></u></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> There are more than twenty elements and compounds in <a href="https://ar.visitjordan.com/Wheretogo/The-Dead-Sea">the Dead Sea</a> water, including: calcium, manganese, bromine, magnesium, and sulfur.
