When it comes to revitalizing yourself, we cannot not mention the Dead Sea. An epitome for relaxation and rejuvenation, the name of Dead Sea, will conjure images of exfoliating in the natural mud and lying afloat on the waters. The nearby attractions like Mount Nebo, Madaba (City of Mosaics), Dead Sea Museum, Mujib Reserve, Lot’s Cave, and Hammamat Ma’in are worth spending more than a weekend here.
