The evening ends with a folklore show.
Overnight: Amman

Day Three: Tuesday We depart early for our first stop, the Dead Sea. Renowned for its unusual landscape, the Dead Sea is mineral-rich with therapeutic and health properties that has attracted many a visitor including King Herod himself. The Pella, also located in the ridge of the Jordan valley, are surrounded by beautifully rolling green hills that offer a fantastic view of the waters.

For our last stop for the day, we head towards the unofficial capital of the south, Kerak.
