Hammamat Ma'en

58 km south of Amman and 120 meters below sea level, is the thermal mineral hot springs and waterfalls, where Herod the Great was said to have bathed in its medicinal water, and where people have come for thermal treatments, or simply to enjoy a hot soak, since the days of Rome.

Visitors to the Dead Sea should also take advantage of the other nearby marvel, Hammamat Ma'en (Ma'en Hot Springs). Admired by both locals and tourists, the springs are located 264 meters below sea level in one of the most breath-taking desert oases in the world. Thousands of visiting bathers come each year to enjoy the mineral rich waters of these hyper-thermal waterfalls. These falls originate from winter rainfalls in the highland plains of Jordan and eventually feed the 109 hot and cold springs in the valley. The temperature of water is between 40C to 60C and contains different kinds of minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. There are hot spa pools, natural and artificial saunas and it is heated to temperatures up to 63 degrees Celsius by underground lava fissures as it makes its way through the valley before emptying into the Zarqa River.

Situated in this exquisite spot is the 94 room Janna Spa and Resort offering a wide variety of professional services including mud wrappings, hydro jet baths and showers, underwater massages, mud facials, electrotherapy and cosmetology treatments. Furthermore, it is a natural clinic providing treatment for people with skin diseases, blood circulatory problems and bone, joints, back and muscular pains.
