It features Roman and Byzantine remains including churches and chapels, a monastery, caves that have been used by hermits and pools in which baptisms were celebrated, testifying to the religious character of the place.

About Sweimah

Sweimah is a resort area on Jordan's Dead Sea shore, the lowest dry land on Earth, where the salty water holds swimmers afloat.

Sweimah, also spelt Sweimeh, lies on the north-eastern shore of the Dead Sea in Jordan, where the land falls to more than 430 metres below sea level, the lowest dry land on Earth. The lake's water is nearly ten times as salty as the ocean, so bathers float without effort, and its mineral-rich mud is spread over the skin. Resort hotels sit among palms along the shore, with the brown hills of the Jordanian plateau rising behind.
