Sleeping at the Bottom of the World

We were picked up from the hotel today for the airport transfer, a 45 minutes ride. The driver was asking how was sleeping like at the bottom of the world. Indeed we were at the lowest land point on Earth. The sea itself is 420 metres below normal sea level. The oxygen is richer than normal and makes you burn energy quickly and also make you sleep well.

There are many resorts sprouting at the North end part of the Dead Sea, which is closer to Amman and the airport. This location seems to be a good base for visiting places around here. Jericho, one of the oldest inhibited cities in the world - some 8000 years old now, is just in the neighbourhood. Mount Nebo, Karak, Jerash, Madaba and more.
