CALLIRHOE
Small archaeological site unearthed in 1807, 12 km south of the hotel, including the remains of a port and Roman baths
12 km south of the Mövenpick Hotel, a little after crossing the bridge over Wadi Zarqa, the river that feeds the springs of Hammamat Ma'in. Herod used to come here to treat his rheumatism. A small archaeological site was unearthed in 1807 including the remains of a port and Roman baths. It is possible to bathe (free of charge) in the Dead Sea by going down under the bridge that spans Wadi Zarqa and rinsing in the natural pools of the river (non-drinking water). Beware, the site is very busy on Friday and Saturday.
