Families from Amman enjoying the Jordanian coast of the Dead Sea at "Amman Beach" park, with artificial sand down to the shore line. Women here bathe with amounts of clothing that vary according to their cultural conservatism, and the most conservative don't go in at all, but sit on the shore and watch their kids and male relatives. It was over 40° C in the shade. This beach is most popular on Friday, the only day of the week when all Jordanians have a holiday.
