DEAD SEA FROM AMMAN, FOLLOWING THE VOLKER REPORT

Deep in the Jordan Valley and 55 Km southeast of Amman, the capital of Jordan is the Dead sea. One of the lowest body of water on earth, the lowest point on earth, and the world's richest source of natural salts...with proven healing powers

To reach this unique spot, a two hour journey on a sterdy Mitsubishi Pajero from Amman.

The view... a breathtaking landscape of arid hills.

Enroute a stone marker indicates "Sea Level", but the dead sea itself will come only after descending another 400 meters below this sign. Posted by Picasa
