Float at the lowest point on earth
The Dead Sea lies more than 400 metres below sea level, the lowest point on land, and its water is so salty that you float without effort. Jordan's eastern shore has a string of resort hotels with spas and beaches, as well as public beaches, and the black mineral mud is spread on as a skin treatment. Nearby, Wadi Mujib offers canyon hikes through water, Mount Nebo overlooks the valley, and the Baptism Site at Bethany beyond the Jordan is a place of pilgrimage.
