Frequently Asked Questions

Can you swim in the Dead Sea?

You can float in the Dead Sea but not really swim — its salt concentration is roughly 10 times that of the ocean, making you extremely buoyant. The mineral-rich water and mud are famous for their therapeutic properties.

Was Indiana Jones filmed at Petra?

Yes — the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh) at Petra served as the exterior of the Holy Grail temple in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). The film brought worldwide attention to the site.

Is Jordan safe to visit?

Jordan is widely considered one of the safest countries in the Middle East for tourists. It has a stable government, welcoming culture, and well-developed tourism infrastructure, with millions of visitors each year.
