Dead Sea

The Dead Sea lies between Israel, Jordan and Palestine. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south, 5 ~ 16 kilometers wide from east to west, 4 15 meters deep and covers an area of 1049 square kilometers. From a distance, the Dead Sea looks like a two-tailed fish, swimming at the foot of the mountain either implicitly or explicitly. The Dead Sea has no ebb and flow, and it is calm. Under the sunlight, the sea surface shines like an ancient bronze mirror. On the shore, there are no amazing photos, Sha Ou is gathering and birds are playing; There are no floating aquatic plants in the water, even small fish and shrimp can't be seen. According to experts, there are no microorganisms in the water. Perhaps for these reasons, people named it the Dead Sea.

Kazini temple

Kazini Temple is a temple in the ancient city of Petra, which has a history of two thousand years. According to the local Bedouin legend, there is a treasure hidden at the top, so the temple is commonly known as the "treasure house". This is the shooting place of the movies "Indiana Jones 3- The Ultimate Expedition" and "Transformed king kong 2- Revenge of the Fallen". The ancient city is very big, and there are horse riding, camel riding, carriage and other services in front of the temple. The price is relatively expensive, so it is recommended to bargain.

Castle hill

Castle Hill is the site of the capital of Amon Kingdom in Abbas, and its history can be traced back to 1 1 century BC. The ruins of the Umayyad Palace you see now were built in 720 AD. The hall with a dome is very spectacular. You can walk in and feel the echo of history. The reservoir on Castle Hill, the Byzantine Church and the tall stone pillars of Hercules Palace can be carefully read on the introduction board, and magnificent photos can be taken in the evening. This is the commanding height of Amman and the oldest fortress. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole city.

Moon Canyon

Many sci-fi movies about the moon and Mars were shot here. It is worthwhile to stay here for one night. You can join local tour groups, spend the night in the desert and eat in Bedouin camp.
