From which Arab country can you drive to see the eastern shore of the Dead Sea? Jordan. The Dead Sea forms part of Jordan’s western border, and its eastern shoreline lies entirely in Jordanian territory.
Jordan’s Dead Sea coast is connected to Amman and other parts of the country by major roads, making it possible to reach the shore by car. Popular destinations include Sweimeh, beach resorts, and the area near the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center. The Jordanian side is known for its dramatic mountains, mineral-rich mud, and exceptionally salty water.
A common mix-up is assuming that the Dead Sea belongs to only one country. In reality, the lake is bordered by Jordan to the east, while Israel and the West Bank lie to the west and southwest. The Jordan River is its principal inflow, but the lake has no natural outlet, contributing to its high salinity and steadily falling water level.
