After visiting Um er-Rasas, my driver suggested a slight detour to view Wadi Mujib from a lookout point near Dhiban. The views are gorgeous - steep rocky sandstone mountains cascading 1300 ft (400 m) to the narrow gorge below, with Al Mujib Dam in the distance. In 2011, UNESCO declared Mujib a Biosphere Reserve, making it the lowest nature reserve on earth. The panoramic view is a nice alternative if you’re not interested in trekking the canyon. Also, from the Dead Sea, there’s a viewing platform where Wadi Mujib runs into the Dead Sea. We passed this point twice. First, the river was nothing but a trickle, but after the rains, the water was rushing.

Wonderful hotel, distinguished rooms, and great service provided by the staff, especially Mr. Nidal Shaheen and Mr. Mohammed Al-Tawalbeh. More than wonderful reception and they provide distinguished service.
4. The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ

This site of Christian pilgrimage is celebrated as the location where Saint John the Baptist lived and baptized Jesus, and where the Prophet Elijah ascended into heaven. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all mention Jesus’ baptism, but only John specifies the location as ‘Bethany beyond the Jordan’. Both Jordan and Israel claim that the Baptism occurred on their side of the Jordan River. Since the course of the river and country borders have changed over the centuries, I wonder if the precise spot can ever be definitively resolved. To complicate matters, UNESCO recognized the Jordanian side in 2015, but omitted the Israel location, Qasr al-Yahud, which is directly across from the Jordanian site. To me it doesn’t matter what country holds the bragging rights. I visited both places, and if you’re on a spiritual journey, you’ll be moved at either location. The Jordanian side is serene and natural with a park-like trail leading to several archaeological areas, the beautiful Greek Orthodox St John the Baptist Church, and the bank of the Jordan River (the river was swollen when we were there due to heavy rain). Nearby, several Christian denominations have built churches and retreats. Interesting to note: the ancient Madaba Mosaic Map depicts the area where St John baptized!

It’s a beautiful castle with an amazing view. We spent there about 2,5 hours. If you are riding Kings Highway you should visit this place.

The Dead Sea museum sits high above the sea with excellent views across the sea to Palestine/Israel and is a well presented attractive visitor experience. Access - you need to drive or be driven there it’s very high above the sea, up an exciting twisting road that has been improved recently You pay at security at the gate. There is shaded parking and ramp access across the site. The museum- it’s on 2 levels the lower one is a very attractive restaurant and terrace leading to a panoramic viewpoint which tells you how close you are to Bethlehem (only 35km I think) there is a separate terrace with a giant heart for romantic occasions to one side. The restaurant does food and coffee which is pricey but good the toilets are very clean. The museum itself is in one large room with artefacts in the middle and boards explaining the sea and it’s history and (rather bleak) future as more water is removed from the Jordan river to supply cities and agricultural industries. I found it instructive and educational. And while it won’t take up more than an hour or two it’s recommended as part of a trip
8. Cave of Prophet Lut

A very interesting place to see for one hour, with kids, it has a museum and a church and a cave. items starting from 10,000 yeas BC to More modern 2000 years items. Jordan is amazing place and at this place can show you a lot of the history. A hidden gem that you can spend at least an hour with nice hike.
