Dead Sea and Kings Highway

Great trip by Royal Jordanian from London, flying like it used to be with pre-allocated seats, free drinks and movies and good food - highly recommended!

Arrived Marriott Dead Sea resort in the early hours, fantastic hotel, although you could easily believe you were in Florida, watched people floating effortlessly in the dead sea, going to try this ourselves on Saturday when we are back in the area.

Photos of the resort...


Took a trip to the baptism site of Jesus by John the baptist, fascinating, you could feel you might be back in Biblical times, at one time we were only 50 feet from Israel.




Visited Mount Nebo where Moses saw the promised land but never made it there being buried at the site..


Then drove to Petra via the Kings Highway and the Jordan Grand Canyon, Wadi Mujab.


So much to see here, fascinating country and everybody is incredibly welcoming..

Petra Tommorow !!
