Ibn Hammad Hot Springs is a natural thermal site in the Wadi Ibn Hammad gorge east of the Dead Sea in the Karak Governorate of southern Jordan, where bicarbonate springs issue from dramatic limestone canyon walls and have been used for bathing by local Bedouin communities for generations. The narrow gorge, carved by the seasonal Wadi Ibn Hammad stream through pale Cretaceous limestone, creates a theatrical and secluded setting for the warm springs that emerge at its base. The springs represent part of Jordan's rich thermal heritage along the eastern Dead Sea escarpment, a geologically active fault zone where warm mineral-bearing waters surface throughout a landscape of profound biblical historical depth.

Insider tip — Stay well hydrated before and after your bath in bicarbonate water at 35°C in Jordan.
