Dead sea

We found out that it is possible to go to Jerusalem which is only 50 km from the boaŕder. We got up at 7 am and arrived to the King Hussein bridge at 9 to find out the possibilities for 1 day trip to Jerusalem. At the Jordanian border I found out that we can visit Jerusalem which was part of Jordan and return the same way and to to pay for new visa. It was also possible that we will not get the Israel stamped to the passport which will make it impossible to go back through Syria or Libya. There was only one problem that the Jordanian boarder closes at 2 pm. This ment that we will have to stay in Jerusalem over night. Since we wanted to stay at least 2 days in Petra and visit the desert at Wadi Rum we decided to skip the Jerusalem visit and went back to the Dead see. We find out in the gude book a nice canyon called Wadi Musa but nature reserve was closed until April. There was a small river going to the Dead sea and nice beach where we spend the rest of the day floating in the salt. Our next stop was the best Jordanian touristic attraction the accent city Petra. It was less than 100 km, but the kings highway was quite hilly but we made it before midnight to Petra. We parked closed the entrance and the police station.
