JORDAN Visit
There after drove to Madaba Town 30 km south of Amman. Madaba is home to the famous 6th century Mosaic Map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. With two million pieces of vividly coloured local stone, it depicts hills and valleys, villages and towns as far as the Nile Delta.Then saw the Mount Nebo, one of the most revered holy sites of Jordan and the place where Moses was buried. A small Byzantine church was built there by early Christians.
Then drove to Dead Sea , The surface and shores of the Dead Sea are 423 metres (1,388 ft) below sea level, making it Earth’s lowest elevation on land.The Dead Sea is roughly 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish (hence its name)The Dead Sea’s unusually high salt concentration means that people can easily float in the Dead Sea due to natural buoyancy.Must float in it. Pay 12 Dinars and you get a locker for your clothes, a towel and excess to shower are.There after we drove to Petra by Kings Highway for overnight . Most of tour operators avoid this very scenic road drive along Black Sea and the Valley.Insist on going on this road. stay at Petra Panorama Hotel Queen Rania street P.O.Box 941718

Jan Tue Day. Today we visited the Wonder of The world " the Red Rose City - Petra".
you actually need minimum 2 days to see it all.With one day you can see all the main attractions.
Petra was rediscovered in 1812 by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. After spending several years learning Arabic and studying the tenets of Islam, Burckhardt, who passed himself off as a Muslim from India,got into Petra as a Muslim and later told the world about Petra.
Petra means "rock" in Greek, fitting for a town literally carved out of
sandstone desert cliffs. It is located about three hours south of Amman, and was founded by a nomadic Arab tribe known as the
Nebataens several centuries before Christ's birth. The Nabataeans were renowned for their great skills in trade, agriculture, engineering, and architectural stone-carving.The approach through a km long, cool, and gloom chasm called Siq, a long narrow gorge whose steeply rising sides all but obliterate the sun, provides a dramatic contrast with the magic to come. Suddenly the gorge opens into a natural square dominated by Petra's most famous monument, The Treasury, whose intricately carved facade glows in the dazzling sun, is in fact burial ground for Kings.
6 Jan Wed Day . Today after breakfast we drove to sea port of Aqaba. Takes about 1 hour on a speed way. You can see the clear waters of the sea. It is also the place for tourists to go to Israel or vice versa. The Israeli city of Eilat is sister city of Aqba, both cities are almost to gather.
