The hot springs and baths of Hammamat Ma'In have been enjoyed
for therapeutic and leisure pursuits for thousands of years.
The public springs
and commercial resort area are located 35 kilometers 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'In
to the Dead Sea.
Hammamat Ma'In should not be confused with the actual town of Ma'In,
which is 15 kilometers 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'In, as are accommodations.
The hot springs are open from 08:00 until
midnight daily.
