The Dead Sea will host open training for Jordan MMA Week on 28 October 2026 at the Corniche in Sweimeh, Jordan. The public session forms part of a mixed martial arts programme running from 27 to 30 October 2026.
Jordan MMA Week brings Jordanian and international athletes and sports figures to several locations. The Dead Sea appearance links a public sporting activity with one of Jordan's principal visitor destinations.
Jordan MMA Week brings open training to the Corniche
The programme begins on 27 October 2026 with a press conference at the Odeon Theatre beside Amman's Roman Theatre. The Dead Sea Corniche then hosts open training on 28 October, allowing members of the public to watch fighters prepare and interact with them.
The week continues with activities at other Jordanian landmarks before a fight night at Amman's Roman Theatre on 30 October 2026. The event organisers describe the programme as a combination of sport, tourism and public activities, while the Corniche session gives visitors a specific date and venue outside the capital.
Details of the 28 October session place the open training at the Dead Sea Corniche and state that it is intended for public viewing.
Why the Corniche setting matters at the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is an enclosed salt lake in the Jordan Rift Valley. Jordan government information places it 427 metres below sea level, while the northern resort area is centred on Sweimeh.
That geography gives the MMA programme a setting unlike its Amman venues. The 28 October training takes place beside a large body of mineral-rich water at the lowest point identified by Jordan's official tourism information, rather than inside a theatre or stadium.
The lake has no outlet and receives water from the Jordan River, according to information published by Jordan's King Hussein website. Its high salt content and low elevation are longstanding physical features of the destination, independent of the temporary sports programme.
Jordan government information on the Dead Sea identifies the site as a natural and heritage destination 427 metres below sea level.
