We’ll continue our magical adventure by getting yet another incredible Petra experience: we will get up very early and head back to Petra so that we can enter the city right when it opens, and experience this magical place with no crowds!

We should be done with Petra and be Petra-experts by mid-morning, when we will go have breakfast, and continue our adventure. We will get on scenic Highway 35, also known as the Kings Highway, one of the most beautiful and historic drives in the world. We will drive for a couple hours until we reach Kerak Castle, an authentic 12th-century Crusader castle.

We will explore Kerak for 1.5 hours, and then continue on the Kings Highway toward our next surreal destination: The Dead Sea. The lowest place on Earth (1,410 feet below sea level!), the Dead Sea is a humongous lake that is so saline (10 times more saline than the ocean) that you can’t even sink into it; you just float. Its water contains over 21 natural minerals—12 of which are unique to it—including high concentrations of magnesium, calcium, potassium, bromide, and sodium. We will be staying in a five-star resort, so we can enjoy all the pampering we deserve, including mud treatments, and spa treatments to make our skin silky and beautiful. Just because we are adventurous, it doesn’t mean we can’t be pretty and have soft, delicate skin!

We should arrive at our resort mid-afternoon, and will have the rest of the day and night free to enjoy our wonderful resort at this incredible place.

Accommodations: Dead Sea Spa Resort or similar

Meals: N/A. We will not be able to have breakfast at the camp, because we’ll be leaving very early. We’ll have breakfast at around 9:00 AM close to Petra.
