The Dead Sea, The lowest point on earth
A spectacular natural wonder situated 427 meters below sea level, is an ideal destination for wellness and religious tourism, as well as fun in the sun with the family. Combining beach living with religious history, you can soak up the sun while Biblical scholars immerse themselves in rich historical context. The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is its warm, soothing, super salty water—ten times saltier than sea water and rich in magnesium, sodium, potassium, bromine, and other minerals. These mineral-rich, buoyant waters have drawn visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and Cleopatra, who luxuriated in the Dead Sea's rich black mud and effortlessly floated on their backs, absorbing the health benefits and the gently diffused rays of the Jordanian sun.
Petra, The Rose City
Located in modern-day Jordan, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Renowned for its breathtaking ancient architecture carved into rose-colored sandstone cliffs, Petra was built by the Nabataeans around 300 BC. It served as a crucial crossroads for trade routes linking Arabia, Egypt, and Syria. The city's most iconic structure, Al-Khazneh or the Treasury, with its intricate façade, captivates visitors as they enter through the narrow Siq canyon. Beyond the Treasury, Petra unfolds into a vast complex of tombs, temples, and dwellings, illustrating the advanced engineering and artistic skill of its creators. This ancient city not only showcases human ingenuity but also preserves a rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire awe and fascination today.
