Evason Main And Six Senses Spa Ma'in

... last 10 kms, and again I found my inspiration in all the stories I have absorbed in Israel, from the soldiers, to the community farm in Bat Yam that has returned dignity to the Ethiopian dads and to the kids at Alyn. And of course, I started singing again. (<br><br>Beautiful ride, and got to see Israeli technology live, riding past a wind farm. <br><br>Riding through the Golan I was again reminded of the security ...

The ride to the dead sea was nothing short of incredible. As we began on the mountain pass that offered a more direct route to the Dead Sea (from Petra) than the highway, the surrounding scenery captivated me. Soon after taking off, my driver offered me a sketchy deal. The price of swimming at the Dead Sea was 12 JD (about 17 bucks). However, if I wanted, he could tell me a way to get swimming and dinner for only 15 JD. Intrigued, I took ...

... passports. All the hotels on the beach are 5 star hotels. You can pay 50-250JAD to use their facilities for the day. We went to one that only charged 7JAD to get in and they had a buffet lunch for 10JAD. They had 2 pools a restaurant and the beach front wasn't bad. They even offered 3JAD for a mudd bucket. Yes, you pay 3JAD to rub black mudd all over yourself! And yes, I talked Chuck into doing it with me. In fact, Ada, Hamdi, Chuck and I all did it. We looked hilarious walking ...

... wird mir klar, dass ich auch vorh** schon auf dies** Strasse war...<br><br>Nun gut: Raus aus d** Stadt und gleich in d** Wüste! Sobald man Amman v**lässt sieht man sofort, welche Landschaft einen auf dem Rest d** Reise durch Jordanien begleiten wird...unbewachsene Hügel, B**ge. Manchmal wusste ich nicht, ob es nur riesige Sandhaufen od** richtige B**ge sind.<br><br>Erste Stadt auf dem Weg Richtung Petra ist Madaba. Die Stadt umfasst etwa 70.000 Einwohn** und wurde durch den Fund eines ...

Destination 387<br><br>km192'649<br><br>Leaving Petra and its crowds of tourists and coaches Claudio and me continued traveling on the winding King's Highway up north. Our goal: The Dead Sea, one of our secret atractions and must-see sights.<br>Coming from the cool air of the mountainous heights we dropped along a scenic countryroad from heights of 1500m all ...

... pm. It takes about an hour to drive out of Amman, through Salt, and a building run by the Jordan Valley Authority (JVA) that over looks the Valley. I drove in Munqeth's car (he is the head FoEME honcho). I notice that people are pleasantly surprised to find out that my family is part Lebanese, but when I tell them our family name they like gasp because it apparently the name of a very influential family in Jordan. Then we have to clarify. It is probably a ...

... our short bus ride turned into quite a long one, so we stopped off in Amman for the night. This was pretty handy in the end though as we could dump our big bags and take day packs.<br><br>Petra! Those that were there with us last time or have heard the story... well let&#8217;s just say that T finally got to see it. We spent most of a day there and unlike last time, the weather was so hot. Waking up to the Monastery took a little more effort ...

... We caked ourselves in mud to heal our skin, and got some good pictures from it. I hope to post them tonight. The water from the Dead Sea was very similar to baby oil and the mud was very good for the skin after baking in the sun for 20 - 30 minutes. The overall experience was pretty good.<br><br>After we were done we took the same taxi back to the busses, but negotiated a rate of 3 JD. When ...

... locals also take great pride in their places and in the location and in fining that perfect spot to make people happy. It's nice. <br><br>By then it was about 6:00, closing time for the park, and the crowd had seriously thinned out. Six is when the park closes, but you can stay in as late as you want, though they ask you to leave by sunset for saftey reasons. We strolled back towards the entrance. It's nice to look reasonably fit because then the camel drivers will ...

... products manufactured in Jordan are exported to the USA and Iraq 4) I am 70 miles from Iraq and kinda a bit freaked out by that! All in all I am in a safe place and under lock and key so don't worry about us as we are doing great! Today we went to the ancient site of Jaresh...wow! This is one of the most well preserved Roman style archaeological sites in the world! There was a lot to see and take in. The first ...
