The beautiful waterfall, ranging from 45°C to a blistering 60°C, tumbles off the hillside in a series of waterfalls and less assuming trickles, and is collected in a variety of pools for public bathing. It contains potassium, magnesium and calcium, helping blood circulation & the nervous system. Ma’in hot springs helps enhance tranquility, relaxation, and disconnection from today’s busy life and daily routine.
