Latest reviews on Jerusalem's beaches

Hilton Dead Sea Beach
10 Svetlana Petrov

We celebrated our honeymoon there and had a wonderful time. The rooms were incredibly nice and clean, with a fantastic view from the window. The trip to the beach from the hotel was a bit long, but it was enjoyable because the area was well taken care of. We will definitely return.

Holiday Inn Dead Sea Beach
2 Renzo Aldridge

We visited this beach to check if we could access the holiday inn beach since Amman beach was closed. We anticipated paying an entrance fee, but the guard at the entrance informed us that we had to pay 30 JOD per person. It was quite disappointing and felt like a complete mockery.

Kalia Beach

Visiting the Dead Sea was an awesome experience - even better than I expected! Floating in the water feels like you're in outer space! I'd suggest just doing a day trip there. At the end of the day, it's still a lake. They even have a designated area for camels to park - hilarious!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
