Want to see the rock city of Petra? The disappearing Dead Sea? Experience life in the desert with Bedouins? Thousands of people have already discovered this beautiful and untamed land. Will you join them?
Upon arrival in Amman, a significant regional metropolis, you will be amazed by its size. Especially if you arrive at night, you will have a unique view of the illuminated city. Then, simply orient yourself at the well-marked airport and pick up your car from a local rental agency. You will then drive to the hotel where you will spend your first night.
Next, we'll travel to the pre-booked hotel. Traffic in Amman can be chaotic, but if you have experience from Southern Europe, such as Italy, you'll quickly adapt to the local style.
Regarding the local currency, I recommend exchanging some money for Jordanian dinars. However, it's possible to pay with US dollars in most tourist services.
The second day will be devoted to a walking tour of Jordan's capital, Amman. This day focuses on exploring the local King Abdullah I Mosque. Here, you can borrow suitable attire that covers you from head to toe and enter the entire complex, making you feel like a local.
You will also visit the Amman Citadel. The tour includes the King Hussein Mosque, which can be seen from almost all of Amman because it stands on a nearby hill. Admission is free.
The city of Amman is a true metropolis, with a population exceeding 4 million and very busy street life. You can escape the hustle and bustle in the local cafes, of which there are many throughout the city. You will also find a large number of restaurants, from local cuisine to Indian. It is recommended to use Google Maps, as they mark all important points, including restaurants.
If you like art, I recommend visiting a gallery where you can buy not only paintings but also smaller souvenirs. You can find it if you walk down the stairs from the Amman Citadel towards Al-Hashemi Street.
The Roman amphitheatre probably dates from the 2nd century AD. It was restored in the 1950s, but the stone used is not original.
The citadel of Amman is one of the longest continuously inhabited places in the world. The Temple of Hercules, which also dates from the 2nd century AD, can be seen in the photographs. In the past, there was probably a monumental statue of Hercules, son of the supreme Greek god Zeus. However, only three fingers and part of an elbow have survived. The citadel also includes the Umayyad Palace, which you can recognize by its distinctive dome.
Admission is twofold - for locals and tourists. If you have a Jordan Pass, you pay only a small fee (up to 100 CZK).

You can find it if you walk down the stairs from the Amman Citadel towards Al - Hashemi street.
The King Abdallah I Mosque in Amman is one of the city's most important landmarks and the only mosque in Jordan to which non-Muslims have access. It was built in the 1980s in honour of King Abdullah I, the founder of Jordan. The building is dominated by a large blue dome decorated with Islamic calligraphy and flanked by two slender minarets.
The mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers, including an outdoor courtyard. Inside, there is a spacious prayer hall and a small museum with Islamic artifacts and relics of the king. Tourists are allowed to enter, but a strict dress code must be observed - women must cover their entire bodies, including their heads, while men must wear long trousers and cover their shoulders. Clothes can be hired free of charge at the entrance.
The mosque is located in the city centre in the Abdali district. The entrance fee for tourists is approximately 2-3 Jordanian dinars and is not part of the Jordan Pass. It is recommended to visit outside of prayer times, ideally in the morning.
Attention!!!! You need to be covered here. Women should cover the whole body including ankles and a scarf over their head. Men should wear clothes below the knees and sleeves longer than the elbows.
The second accommodation is planned in the city of Madaba. Given the rented car, staying overnight here is more convenient - the next day you continue to Mount Nebo and then to the Dead Sea.
The third day is devoted to a journey in the footsteps of Christianity. You will visit Madaba, Mount Nebo and the site of the baptism of Jesus Christ, and end the day with a sunset swim in the Dead Sea. You can also take advantage of the local healing mud.
In the morning, leave Madaba early (around 8:00 am) for Mount Nebo. The road passes villages and places with limited camel breeding. Parking at the entrance is free. The mountain lies at an altitude of about 817 m above sea level. - The surface of the Dead Sea is about 400 m below the level of the world ocean. The elevation is therefore about 1200 m. According to the Bible, Moses probably saw the promised land here just before his death after 40 years of wandering. On the mountain you will find a church and a memorial to Moses, a metal cross, a viewpoint and a museum. Entrance costs about 95 CZK and in summer it is usually open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
On the way down, have lunch in a small village and sample the local Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine. Pictured is Shawarma. The second picture is probably a local school bus. The children are transported on the back.
The next stop is at Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Bethany Beyond the Jordan, El‑Maghtas), where Jesus was baptized. The Jordan River has changed due to natural fluvial shifts, and the original baptism site is now about 400 m from the current riverbed. Entrance costs approximately 12 JOD, with a Jordan Pass 8 JOD. The tour, including minibus transfer, takes about 1.5 hours.
In the afternoon, you will move further south along the Dead Sea. You will admire the receding level of the Dead Sea, which is affected by drying out due to climate change and poor management of the Jordan River. There are many opportunities to stop for a swim around the Dead Sea. Often, locals run businesses in the form of showers (after swimming in the Dead Sea, the skin dries out and needs to be washed with fresh water) and paid parking. They often provide you with mud to cover your entire body. The Dead Sea is divided into southern and northern parts. The level of the northern part is decreasing and the level of the southern part is increasing. This is due to mineral extraction in the southern part. Water is brought here from the northern part. The road that runs around the Dead Sea was built in the 1990s in close proximity to the Dead Sea. Today, it is located several hundred meters from its shores.
The entrance fee is per car. So the price is divided by the number of people in the car.
During the fourth day you will visit the Wadi Mujib Gorge, which has been excavated for thousands of years by the river flowing into the Dead Sea. There's plenty of fun to be had here, whether you love the water or not. The place is also very photogenic. After a two- to three-hour trail, you'll move to a mountainous area, where you'll experience the atmosphere of a remote town that hasn't been much penetrated by tourism.
After spending the night at the accommodation, you will head to the Wadi Mujib gorge. Parking is free directly at the entrance – look for the Mujib Adventure Center on the map. You will be greeted by English-speaking staff who will explain the course of the tour. The destination is the so-called Siq Trail, a popular water trek. The entrance fee, including equipment rental (life jacket, helmet, and possibly shoes), is approximately 830 CZK (approximately 25 JOD). Everything can be arranged on site. The trail is open from April to October, daily from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The earlier you arrive, the better – you'll avoid the crowds and the midday heat.
You don't have to know how to swim – the water usually reaches your waist at most. Expect lots of fun and adrenaline. Safety standards are not as strict here as in Europe, but this contributes to the authenticity of the experience. The route ends at an impressive 20-meter-high waterfall, and the entire trek takes about three hours.
After visiting Wadi Mujib, you'll head south towards Petra. Along the way, a short stop in the mountain town of At-Tafila is worthwhile. At first glance, it may seem inconspicuous, but you'll be won over by the friendliness of the locals, who aren't very used to tourists. In the local shop, you can sit with the vendors over tea and exchange souvenirs – I recommend bringing something from home. In a nearby pastry shop, you can then sample traditional sweets.
On the fifth day you reach the famous Petra rock complex. The city is not just about the iconic Treasury, whose photographs have become a symbol of Jordan. Petra is a vast rock city, full of buildings carved into the sandstone cliffs that were inhabited by the Nabataeans in ancient times. They lived here for centuries, and their heritage continues to amaze visitors from around the world today.
You'll find the Jordan Pass, mentioned earlier, most worthwhile, which includes two days' admission to Petra (the normal price for a separate 2-day pass is 75 Jordanian Dinars). If you have a Jordan Pass, you pay nothing on site - just present it at the entrance.
After breakfast you will go by car to Petra. This monument is considered the main tourist attraction of Jordan. The drive takes approximately one and a half hours. Parking at the main entrance is free.
Remember to bring your Jordan Pass, headwear (e.g. a cap), plenty of fluids and a snack. The first 700 metres or so can be done on horseback, but although some claim this ride is "free", tipping the horse owner is expected. You will then walk through the beautiful Siq Gorge, approximately 2 km long, which will lead you to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh).
Here, local young men will often offer to take your picture from vantage points above the Treasury for a fee. If you plan on buying souvenirs or carpets, it's advisable to wait - the highest prices are in front of and around the Treasury, where most tourists end up. Further into Petra, prices gradually drop.
Your first day in Petra is ideal for soaking up its atmosphere, walking the main part of the route and then staying overnight at a local campsite. You can spend the evening around the campfire with the camp staff, sipping tea or enjoying a reasonably priced hookah.
On your second day in Petra, you will take a detour to the rock city, i.e. through the back entrance, and experience a real wandering in the desert. You will walk through the entire rock complex of Petra up to the main gate. In the evening, you will move to the Wadi Rum desert for a breathtaking sunset and an authentic dinner with the local Bedouins.
The back entrance to Petra is ideal for more experienced hikers. You'll have about an hour's drive through the desert, during which - if you start early in the morning - you'll avoid the crowds. This method allows you to walk the entire rock city in the opposite direction and experience it in peace. The route is approximately 6 km through the desert and another 15 km across Petra to the main gate. It is therefore important to equip yourself with plenty of water, food, sunscreen and sturdy shoes suitable for the rocky terrain.
It is possible to pay for a jeep transfer from Little Petra to the back entrance of Petra, however these services tend to be quite expensive and need to be arranged individually. There are occasional small refreshment stands along the way, but these cannot be relied upon - be self-sufficient. You can leave your car in the car park at Mala Petra. Shuttle buses run between the main and back entrances to Petra, and their schedules may vary. I recommend asking for updates directly at the property - the staff will be happy to advise you. The shuttle bus is usually free of charge.
After a full day of exploring Petra, you will drive to your accommodation in the Wadi Rum desert area. To enter the protected area, you must have pre-booked accommodation in one of the camps (which you have). Your program for tomorrow includes a full-day trip in the desert (don't forget to purchase it online in advance, for example here or anywhere online).
I recommend planning your arrival at the accommodation for sunset, as it offers a truly powerful experience in the desert.
Today, we will spend the day in the Wadi Rum desert. Together with a local Bedouin, you will visit all the main attractions the desert has to offer, learn a little about life in this environment, and taste local traditional food and tea. Your tour will end at sunset, sipping black tea with sage, prepared over a fire.
You can book a tour here or anywhere online.
Typical stops during a full-day jeep tour in Wadi Rum:
Lawrence's Spring – a spring named after Lawrence of Arabia, offering views of the entire area and the possibility of climbing the rock.
Khazali Canyon – a narrow rock gorge with ancient petroglyphs and inscriptions in several languages, including Nabataean.
Um Frouth Rock Bridge – a natural rock bridge that can be climbed (with caution) to take iconic photos.
Burdah Rock Bridge (from a distance or on foot) – the highest rock arch in the desert, accessible only with a longer hike.
Red Sand Dunes – the opportunity to climb a red sand dune and slide down, even barefoot.
Little Canyon Abu Khashaba – a short walk through a narrow rock crevice, a shaded and very photogenic place.
Nabataean Temple – remains of a temple from the Nabataean era, reminiscent of the connection with Petra.
Lawrence's House (ruins) – remnants of a stone dwelling, which, according to legend, was used by Lawrence of Arabia.
Lunch stop in the shade of the rocks – local Bedouins usually prepare a simple lunch and tea.
Sunset – views from one of the elevations of the orange to red plains at sunset, often the highlight of the day.
Jeep tours usually last 6–8 hours and include lunch, drinks, and a guide/driver.
The afternoon of the last day is dedicated to exploring the city of Aqaba. There is the option to use the local beaches or visit the flagpole, or a cruise on the Gulf of Aqaba can be arranged to admire the underwater world. The cruise is arranged on the spot - there is no need to look for anyone, if you are around the port, the ferrymen will approach you themselves. It is advisable to haggle on the price.
The afternoon is reserved for the transfer back to Amman. It is necessary to cover approximately 350 km, but the landscape we pass through is so beautiful and varied – from deserts to mountains – that the journey passes very quickly. In approximately four hours, you are back in Amman. Here you will enjoy your last evening on a local rooftop viewpoint.
The last day of the trip involves returning home. You'll be returning the car at the airport, so make sure you get there early enough to have plenty of time for everything.
Remember to be at the airport at least 2/3 hours in advance. Now just enjoy a smooth flight back.
Travel to Jordan may seem slightly risky at the moment given the situation in the Middle East. However, there is nothing to worry about - Jordan has long been considered one of the safest countries in the region. International airlines are gradually resuming flights to neighbouring countries, including Israel and Syria.
Jordan is convenient to visit almost all year round. The best period is from April to October, when the weather is good for travel and exploring.

In the morning, leave Madaba early (around 8:00 am) for Mount Nebo. The road passes villages and places with limited camel breeding. Parking at the entrance is free. The mountain lies at an altitude of about 817 m above sea level. - The surface of the Dead Sea is about 400 m below the level of the world ocean. The elevation is therefore about 1200 m. According to the Bible, Moses probably saw the promised land here just before his death after 40 years of wandering. On the mountain you will find a church and a memorial to Moses, a metal cross, a viewpoint and a museum. Entrance costs about 95 CZK and in summer it is usually open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
On the way down, have lunch in a small village and sample the local Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine. Pictured is Shawarma. The second picture is probably a local school bus. The children are transported on the back.
The next stop is at Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Bethany Beyond the Jordan, El‑Maghtas), where Jesus was baptized. The Jordan River has changed due to natural fluvial shifts, and the original baptism site is now about 400 m from the current riverbed. Entrance costs approximately 12 JOD, with a Jordan Pass 8 JOD. The tour, including minibus transfer, takes about 1.5 hours.
In the afternoon, you will move further south along the Dead Sea. You will admire the receding level of the Dead Sea, which is affected by drying out due to climate change and poor management of the Jordan River. There are many opportunities to stop for a swim around the Dead Sea. Often, locals run businesses in the form of showers (after swimming in the Dead Sea, the skin dries out and needs to be washed with fresh water) and paid parking. They often provide you with mud to cover your entire body. The Dead Sea is divided into southern and northern parts. The level of the northern part is decreasing and the level of the southern part is increasing. This is due to mineral extraction in the southern part. Water is brought here from the northern part. The road that runs around the Dead Sea was built in the 1990s in close proximity to the Dead Sea. Today, it is located several hundred meters from its shores.
The entrance fee is per car. So the price is divided by the number of people in the car.
During the fourth day you will visit the Wadi Mujib Gorge, which has been excavated for thousands of years by the river flowing into the Dead Sea. There's plenty of fun to be had here, whether you love the water or not. The place is also very photogenic. After a two- to three-hour trail, you'll move to a mountainous area, where you'll experience the atmosphere of a remote town that hasn't been much penetrated by tourism.
After spending the night at the accommodation, you will head to the Wadi Mujib gorge. Parking is free directly at the entrance – look for the Mujib Adventure Center on the map. You will be greeted by English-speaking staff who will explain the course of the tour. The destination is the so-called Siq Trail, a popular water trek. The entrance fee, including equipment rental (life jacket, helmet, and possibly shoes), is approximately 830 CZK (approximately 25 JOD). Everything can be arranged on site. The trail is open from April to October, daily from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The earlier you arrive, the better – you'll avoid the crowds and the midday heat.
You don't have to know how to swim – the water usually reaches your waist at most. Expect lots of fun and adrenaline. Safety standards are not as strict here as in Europe, but this contributes to the authenticity of the experience. The route ends at an impressive 20-meter-high waterfall, and the entire trek takes about three hours.
After visiting Wadi Mujib, you'll head south towards Petra. Along the way, a short stop in the mountain town of At-Tafila is worthwhile. At first glance, it may seem inconspicuous, but you'll be won over by the friendliness of the locals, who aren't very used to tourists. In the local shop, you can sit with the vendors over tea and exchange souvenirs – I recommend bringing something from home. In a nearby pastry shop, you can then sample traditional sweets.
On the fifth day you reach the famous Petra rock complex. The city is not just about the iconic Treasury, whose photographs have become a symbol of Jordan. Petra is a vast rock city, full of buildings carved into the sandstone cliffs that were inhabited by the Nabataeans in ancient times. They lived here for centuries, and their heritage continues to amaze visitors from around the world today.
You'll find the Jordan Pass, mentioned earlier, most worthwhile, which includes two days' admission to Petra (the normal price for a separate 2-day pass is 75 Jordanian Dinars). If you have a Jordan Pass, you pay nothing on site - just present it at the entrance.
After breakfast you will go by car to Petra. This monument is considered the main tourist attraction of Jordan. The drive takes approximately one and a half hours. Parking at the main entrance is free.
Remember to bring your Jordan Pass, headwear (e.g. a cap), plenty of fluids and a snack. The first 700 metres or so can be done on horseback, but although some claim this ride is "free", tipping the horse owner is expected. You will then walk through the beautiful Siq Gorge, approximately 2 km long, which will lead you to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh).
Here, local young men will often offer to take your picture from vantage points above the Treasury for a fee. If you plan on buying souvenirs or carpets, it's advisable to wait - the highest prices are in front of and around the Treasury, where most tourists end up. Further into Petra, prices gradually drop.
Your first day in Petra is ideal for soaking up its atmosphere, walking the main part of the route and then staying overnight at a local campsite. You can spend the evening around the campfire with the camp staff, sipping tea or enjoying a reasonably priced hookah.
On your second day in Petra, you will take a detour to the rock city, i.e. through the back entrance, and experience a real wandering in the desert. You will walk through the entire rock complex of Petra up to the main gate. In the evening, you will move to the Wadi Rum desert for a breathtaking sunset and an authentic dinner with the local Bedouins.
The back entrance to Petra is ideal for more experienced hikers. You'll have about an hour's drive through the desert, during which - if you start early in the morning - you'll avoid the crowds. This method allows you to walk the entire rock city in the opposite direction and experience it in peace. The route is approximately 6 km through the desert and another 15 km across Petra to the main gate. It is therefore important to equip yourself with plenty of water, food, sunscreen and sturdy shoes suitable for the rocky terrain.
It is possible to pay for a jeep transfer from Little Petra to the back entrance of Petra, however these services tend to be quite expensive and need to be arranged individually. There are occasional small refreshment stands along the way, but these cannot be relied upon - be self-sufficient. You can leave your car in the car park at Mala Petra. Shuttle buses run between the main and back entrances to Petra, and their schedules may vary. I recommend asking for updates directly at the property - the staff will be happy to advise you. The shuttle bus is usually free of charge.
After a full day of exploring Petra, you will drive to your accommodation in the Wadi Rum desert area. To enter the protected area, you must have pre-booked accommodation in one of the camps (which you have). Your program for tomorrow includes a full-day trip in the desert (don't forget to purchase it online in advance, for example here or anywhere online).
I recommend planning your arrival at the accommodation for sunset, as it offers a truly powerful experience in the desert.
Today, we will spend the day in the Wadi Rum desert. Together with a local Bedouin, you will visit all the main attractions the desert has to offer, learn a little about life in this environment, and taste local traditional food and tea. Your tour will end at sunset, sipping black tea with sage, prepared over a fire.
You can book a tour here or anywhere online.
Typical stops during a full-day jeep tour in Wadi Rum:
Lawrence's Spring – a spring named after Lawrence of Arabia, offering views of the entire area and the possibility of climbing the rock.
Khazali Canyon – a narrow rock gorge with ancient petroglyphs and inscriptions in several languages, including Nabataean.
Um Frouth Rock Bridge – a natural rock bridge that can be climbed (with caution) to take iconic photos.
Burdah Rock Bridge (from a distance or on foot) – the highest rock arch in the desert, accessible only with a longer hike.
Red Sand Dunes – the opportunity to climb a red sand dune and slide down, even barefoot.
Little Canyon Abu Khashaba – a short walk through a narrow rock crevice, a shaded and very photogenic place.
Nabataean Temple – remains of a temple from the Nabataean era, reminiscent of the connection with Petra.
Lawrence's House (ruins) – remnants of a stone dwelling, which, according to legend, was used by Lawrence of Arabia.
Lunch stop in the shade of the rocks – local Bedouins usually prepare a simple lunch and tea.
Sunset – views from one of the elevations of the orange to red plains at sunset, often the highlight of the day.
Jeep tours usually last 6–8 hours and include lunch, drinks, and a guide/driver.
The afternoon of the last day is dedicated to exploring the city of Aqaba. There is the option to use the local beaches or visit the flagpole, or a cruise on the Gulf of Aqaba can be arranged to admire the underwater world. The cruise is arranged on the spot - there is no need to look for anyone, if you are around the port, the ferrymen will approach you themselves. It is advisable to haggle on the price.
The afternoon is reserved for the transfer back to Amman. It is necessary to cover approximately 350 km, but the landscape we pass through is so beautiful and varied – from deserts to mountains – that the journey passes very quickly. In approximately four hours, you are back in Amman. Here you will enjoy your last evening on a local rooftop viewpoint.
The last day of the trip involves returning home. You'll be returning the car at the airport, so make sure you get there early enough to have plenty of time for everything.
Remember to be at the airport at least 2/3 hours in advance. Now just enjoy a smooth flight back.
Travel to Jordan may seem slightly risky at the moment given the situation in the Middle East. However, there is nothing to worry about - Jordan has long been considered one of the safest countries in the region. International airlines are gradually resuming flights to neighbouring countries, including Israel and Syria.
Jordan is convenient to visit almost all year round. The best period is from April to October, when the weather is good for travel and exploring.
Want to see the rock city of Petra? The disappearing Dead Sea? Experience life in the desert with Bedouins? Thousands of people have already discovered this beautiful and untamed land. Will you join them?
Upon arrival in Amman, a significant regional metropolis, you will be amazed by its size. Especially if you arrive at night, you will have a unique view of the illuminated city. Then, simply orient yourself at the well-marked airport and pick up your car from a local rental agency. You will then drive to the hotel where you will spend your first night.
Next, we'll travel to the pre-booked hotel. Traffic in Amman can be chaotic, but if you have experience from Southern Europe, such as Italy, you'll quickly adapt to the local style.
Regarding the local currency, I recommend exchanging some money for Jordanian dinars. However, it's possible to pay with US dollars in most tourist services.
The second day will be devoted to a walking tour of Jordan's capital, Amman. This day focuses on exploring the local King Abdullah I Mosque. Here, you can borrow suitable attire that covers you from head to toe and enter the entire complex, making you feel like a local.
You will also visit the Amman Citadel. The tour includes the King Hussein Mosque, which can be seen from almost all of Amman because it stands on a nearby hill. Admission is free.
The city of Amman is a true metropolis, with a population exceeding 4 million and very busy street life. You can escape the hustle and bustle in the local cafes, of which there are many throughout the city. You will also find a large number of restaurants, from local cuisine to Indian. It is recommended to use Google Maps, as they mark all important points, including restaurants.
If you like art, I recommend visiting a gallery where you can buy not only paintings but also smaller souvenirs. You can find it if you walk down the stairs from the Amman Citadel towards Al-Hashemi Street.
The Roman amphitheatre probably dates from the 2nd century AD. It was restored in the 1950s, but the stone used is not original.
The citadel of Amman is one of the longest continuously inhabited places in the world. The Temple of Hercules, which also dates from the 2nd century AD, can be seen in the photographs. In the past, there was probably a monumental statue of Hercules, son of the supreme Greek god Zeus. However, only three fingers and part of an elbow have survived. The citadel also includes the Umayyad Palace, which you can recognize by its distinctive dome.
Admission is twofold - for locals and tourists. If you have a Jordan Pass, you pay only a small fee (up to 100 CZK).

You can find it if you walk down the stairs from the Amman Citadel towards Al - Hashemi street.
The King Abdallah I Mosque in Amman is one of the city's most important landmarks and the only mosque in Jordan to which non-Muslims have access. It was built in the 1980s in honour of King Abdullah I, the founder of Jordan. The building is dominated by a large blue dome decorated with Islamic calligraphy and flanked by two slender minarets.
The mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers, including an outdoor courtyard. Inside, there is a spacious prayer hall and a small museum with Islamic artifacts and relics of the king. Tourists are allowed to enter, but a strict dress code must be observed - women must cover their entire bodies, including their heads, while men must wear long trousers and cover their shoulders. Clothes can be hired free of charge at the entrance.
The mosque is located in the city centre in the Abdali district. The entrance fee for tourists is approximately 2-3 Jordanian dinars and is not part of the Jordan Pass. It is recommended to visit outside of prayer times, ideally in the morning.
Attention!!!! You need to be covered here. Women should cover the whole body including ankles and a scarf over their head. Men should wear clothes below the knees and sleeves longer than the elbows.
The second accommodation is planned in the city of Madaba. Given the rented car, staying overnight here is more convenient - the next day you continue to Mount Nebo and then to the Dead Sea.
