Our trip began with a pretty good service economy class with Royal Jordanian. Flying time is approx 5 hours, so making it an ideal destination for those not liking long flights to somewhere just that bit different.

With only three full days in Jordan we made the most of this time by first starting off with a relaxing float in the Dead Sea. A really strange feeling just floating without any effort, then coating ourselves in the local Dead Sea mud and allowing that to dry before washing off in the sea. Claims have been made that women end up looking 5 years younger – I am still checking the mirror!
