Insider tip — 'Hamamat Urduniah' (Jordanian Baths) near Al-Mukhayba on the Yarmouk River, northern Jordan — in the zone of the Al-Himmah thermal springs on the Jordanian-Syrian border. The alkaline earth Cl-HCO₃ thermal waters of this area have been used since Roman times (ancient Gadara/Hamat Gader) for rheumatism, circulatory and gynaecological conditions; the water is mildly radioactive (Rn-222). Al-Mukhayba marks the Jordanian side of springs shared historically with the Israeli Hamat Gader baths across the Yarmouk.
