Hi all,

I'm going to visit both Jordan & Israel. Which side offer a better float & swim in the Dead Sea? I would like to stay on budget so suggestions on beaches with good value are welcome.
I know this question might has been asked for thousands of times & answers have been repeated again & again, so I really thank & appreciate your tips :)

Cheers,
WK

Hi WK_Cheung!
This can be a tricky question to answer since one is normally choosing east or west side depending on travel plans..
However the best budget options on the Jordan side is staying at a hotel in Madaba and visit Amman Beach. The other option is to book a chalet in Wadi Mujib about 25 km south of the tourist hotels at Dead Sea on the Jordan side.

I should mention that's not a beach as such at Wadi Mujib you must use bathing shoes to go into the water. A chalet costs 65 JD single and 75 JD double.
