DEAD SEA
Per Pete:
"I was fortunate to have a very long layover in Jordan and got out to do a day tour of a few of their famous sites. Madaba - The City of Mosaics - has a mosaic map of the Holy Land dating back to the 6th Century. Mt Nebo - is believed where Moses ascended and saw "The Holy Land". Dead Sea - one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world and the lowest place on Earth - the sea is 34% salinity, almost ten times as salty as the ocean. (Don't get the water in your eyes or mouth...)
Jordan was an amazing visit and I look forward to being able to visit again."
