Hammamat Ma'een
About the product
Lying 264 meters below sea level in a spectacular mountain landscape, The hot springs
and baths of Hammamat Ma’een have been enjoyed for therapeutic and leisure pursuits
for thousands of years. The public springs and commercial resort area are located 35
kilometres southwest of Madaba, along a winding road which crosses some of the most
spectacular territory around the Dead Sea. It is, however, impossible to drive directly
from Hammamat Ma’een to the Dead Sea. Hammamat Ma’een should not be confused
with the actual town of Ma’een, which is 15 kilometres before the springs.
The main public attraction is a large spring-fed waterfall, while a number of smaller ones
spurt forth within the private resort area (08-545-500). Shower facilities and a swimming
pool are also available for public use. Within the spa complex, one of the most popular
attractions is the body mud pack treatment, followed by showering and a hot bath. Other
spa and health facilities are also available in Hammamat Ma’een, as are accommodations.
The Ma’in region contains a total of 63 springs at different temperatures but similar
chemical composition, containing important elements such as sodium, calcium, chloride,
radon, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Temperatures in some springs reach 63
degrees Celsius.
Tourists frequent the hot springs, seeking treatment for chronic physical ailments
such as skin and circulatory diseases, and bone, joint, back and muscular pains. The
hot water treatment is also useful in cases of chronic rheumatism, muscle spasm, back
pain, blood vessels, varicose veins, skin diseases, and overall body activation of nervous
and psychological exhaustion, endocrine secretion and chronic sinusitis. In addition to
immersing the body in the springs, as in a shower, bubble bath, jacuzzi bath or waterbed,
foot baths and steam treatments are available.
