Dead Sea<br />

At 431m below sea level – the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth – the azure blue<br />

waters are quite the spectacle. The Dead Sea truly is filled with salt and you can float<br />

until your heart’s content. The Dead Sea is also an easy day trip from Amman or Madaba.<br />

Dead Sea salts and minerals have long been exploited for their skin-friendly properties.<br />

Jerash<br />

History buffs head this way.<br />

Jerash is the most wellpreserved<br />

ancient Roman<br />

city outside of Italy. Jerash<br />

dates back 6500 years<br />

and was an important city<br />

on Rome’s ancient trade<br />

route. Thanks to the dry<br />

climate, it laid untouched<br />

for centuries to understand<br />

waiting to be explored.<br />

Excavations began in<br />

1925 and today it is one<br />

of the greatest examples<br />

of Roman architecture<br />

outside of Rome.<br />

Amman<br />

Amman is a relatively<br />

new city, mostly built in<br />

the 20th century it is a<br />

thriving metropolis that is<br />

at odds with the historic<br />

country. Here you can<br />

enjoy a shisha at a local<br />

bar, shop at one of the<br />

many markets and be sure<br />

to visit The King Abdullah<br />

Mosque.<br />
