Shore Excursion: Dead Sea Private Tour from Aqaba

Your private chauffeur will meet you at the cruise port in Aqaba for your full-day shore excursion. You will be transferred by air-conditioned vehicle to the Dead Sea, about 3.5 hours away. Located 1,377 feet (420 meters) below sea level, the area has a high concentration of oxygen and low UV rays. In addition, the Dead Sea's high salinity and water density, along with the concentration of salts and minerals, ensures you won't ever sink.

On arrival, you'll gain entry to the beach resort, with a couple hours of free time to swim — or float — and try the mud on shore that is full of minerals, making this remote destination the largest spa on earth. After an included resort lunch, your driver will transfer you back to the port in time for your cruise ship's departure.
