Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Amman or the Dead Sea resort area. Head to the Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea for a wellness and soap-making class. Enjoy a guided therapeutic mud ritual, a natural olive oil soap-making workshop, and essential oil blending, all held at the Dead Sea's most acclaimed resort beach.
After the wellness session, drive to Lot's Cave (Deir Ain Abata), a remarkable archaeological site identified as the cave where Lot and his daughters sought refuge after the destruction of Sodom, as described in Genesis.
Explore the site, which is built across multiple layers of history: a Bronze Age cave used as a sacred site for millennia, above which Byzantine pilgrims built a church complex in the 6th century, whose mosaic floors — among the finest surviving in the region — are still partially preserved in the museum on site.
Walk the excavated terraces, Byzantine nave, and cave entrance with commentary covering the Genesis narrative, the Bronze Age settlement, and the extraordinary continuity of sacred use at this single spot across 4,000 years.
End your day at Zara Agro Farm Restaurant, a Jordan Valley farm-to-table restaurant in the Sweimeh area, serving produce grown in the valley's extraordinarily fertile agricultural land: fresh herbs, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, and citrus cultivated at 400 meters below sea level in the warmest winter climate in Jordan, paired with traditional Jordanian cooking.
