The hot springs and baths of Hammamat Ma'een have been enjoyed for therapeutic and leisure pursuits for thousands of years. The public springs and commercial resort area are located 35 kilometers southwest of Madaba, along a winding road which crosses some of the most spectacular territory around the Dead Sea. It is, however, impossible to drive directly from Hammamat Ma'een to the Dead Sea. Hammamat Ma'een should not be confused with the actual town of Ma'een, which is 15 kilometers before the springs.

Shower facilities and a swimming pool are also available for public use. Within the spa complex, one of the most popular attractions is the body mud pack treatment, followed by showering and a hot bath. Other spa and health facilities are also available in Hammamat Ma'een, as are accommodations. The hot springs are open from 08:00 until midnight daily.
