The Dead Sea and The Suez Canal !!
The Dead Sea, where buoyancy is not an issue!
(Left Picture) My husband is floating by standing effortlessly in approx. 20 ft of water (in normal water, he would be sinking like a stone as floating is not natural for him). I always assumed the Dead Sea would be nasty...well...dead water. It is not! (Right Picture) It is beautiful, pristine and clear (at least when we were there :) Three other things surprised me about the Dead Sea water, my skin never got prunie from being in the water too long, I did not get cold like I normally do, and my skin felt wonderful.
We accessed the Dead Sea driving from Aqaba, Jordan. The left picture shows typical scenery that we saw. The right picture, unfortunately, shows just how much the Dead Sea has diminished since the year 2000. There are ongoing talks between Israel and Jordan to replenish the Dead Sea with water from the Red Sea.
The Suez Canal is a sea-level, 120-mile canal, which connects the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. It took 10 years to build and opened in 1869. The spacing of ships is determined by the distance it takes them to stop in 20 minutes if needed. Transit time is 12-16 hours.
Armed guard stations are spaced at 1 mile intervals (left picture). At the Great Bitter Lake we saw heavily armed helicopters patroling.
I hope you enjoyed my post, because I enjoying making them!

It reminds me of my holiday to Jordan, we had been to dead sea but it was too cold to take a dip, I could barely soak up my feet. I was really looking forward to visit the Dead Sea as I had read lots, but I was a bit disappointed as I found the place very dirty, what did you feel about the place.

We had expected the Dead Sea to be dirty and maybe even smell. We loved it as everywhere we went it was very clean and pristine. Maybe you now have a reason to go back ?? :)

Wow! I wish I were there right now. The landscape looks like it would be amazing for photography. With the patrols and such, it looks like being a photographer there could get a person in some trouble, though...
Nice photos! Enjoy the warm weather for me :-)

The Dead Sea is one of my bucket list items! Do you recommend going to it from Jordan? I've never heard of anyone going to it from that way!
