Advantages: Unique experience, luxury spa, real get-away-from-it-all
Disadvantages: Not cheap, long way away from anything else, could be boring?

Introduction The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth. The water surface of the Dead Sea is about 410m below sea level right now (it is dropping by about 1m per annum at the moment – more about that later). It is a unique place. Most of us can’t get t ... Read review

Although it looks a bit run down and has lost is past grandeur, there is basically nothing wrong with this comfortable, UK/owned hotel. The English speaking staff is extremely friendly and helpful, rooms are very spacious and all have a balcony. There is a video room, the pool is good and the hotel is conveniently located in the centre. The kitchen is good and safe. Trips to Petra, Wadi Rum and to less frequented Bedouin camps can be arranged. Divers will be interested to know that the hotel is liaised to the Murjan club, where the well managed Padi Sea Star Divers are based.

Advantages: Float in the Dead Sea
Disadvantages: Have to pay hotel prices as no local shops

Sounds like a healthy break, but is it expensive to stay there? There's no prices in your review. Lexy by Bollinger28

We arrived in this beautiful area by 4x4 jeep - an experience in itself, zooming over the brilliantly bright sand dunes! This is not a place for people wanting 5 star luxury- in fact we stayed at a traditional Bedouin camp - really the only way to get ... Read review

Advantages: An experience of a lifetime
Disadvantages: Harder to get to than other destinations, lack of facilities

Wadi Rum literally means "Moon Valley", and after a night spent here, it is not hard to see why. A faint glow behind the escarpments is the first hint that a radiant and very large moon will illuminate the valley - no need for night lights here. During th ... Read review
