The sunset touching the distant hills with ribbons of fire across the waters of the Dead Sea brings a sense of unreality to culminate a days visit to the lowest point on earth, some 400 meters below sea level.

To reach this unique spot the visitor enjoys a short, 55 kilometers drive from Amman, surrounded by a landscape which could be from another planet.  In route a stone marker indicates "Sea Level", but the Dead sea itself is not reached before descending another 400 meters below this sign.
