Wadi Mujib and the Dead sea

Having breakfast and morning coffee in hot Jordan sun is just the best. Aaaand the driver came, time to go! 😎
Haithan is a cool dude. Great english so we could talk about everything. Politics, religion, Jordan, world, time sure flied. Seeing Jordan's countryside is just wow. And soon we were starting to just descend. Dead sea is around 400m below sea level. There is actually a sign that marks it. Crazy. And in distant you see Palestine and Israel... and suddenly - dead sea. Great place, all deserty and temperature quickly goes above 30. On the way you see camels! Yay! Such cool animals 😊 There isn't much around the sea, some resorts on one place and that's about it.
After an hour and a half we arrived at Wadi Mujib. A canyon. I was all excited. Costs like 21JOD and 10 for a wet bag. Need to take photos!
Once you go around the corner you are like holy shit! This gorgeous! Red stone, narrow canyon, water just the right temperature. You just walk there... and then it gets deeper, you swim, climb ropes, ladders, jump in water, slide. It's insanely fun! It takes around an hour to get to the end where you meet a waterfall. This is really so much fun and refreshing!
Next up was soaking in the Dead sea. Since public beaches are closed (covid) and that means no showers, which are a must, I was offered a day ticket to some Crown plaza five-star resort. Pretty nice place but I just spent my time on the beach, put mud all over me and floated in extra salty water. Oh you feel every scratch, it burns little. You just sit in the water and float. You can't even swim because it turns you around 😃 Water feels oily but the feeling is great!
Finished it all with a beer (9JOD!) and some fancy lunch, where I took all the yummee desserts 😋
Back at hostel now, need to pack, tomorrow early morning I have a bus to Petra 😃Read more
