Last weekend we decided to get away from the cold, 65-degree weather in Amman and head for the warmer, 85-degree weather just 30 minutes away at the Dead Sea.
We drove down with the Stowe family who have three kids about the same ages as our kids. As we had planned, we headed out on a hike that started directly across the street from the Marriott - where we were staying the night. Luckily the guide book was specific enough that we knew to go right in the middle of a construction site to park our cars and start the hike.
The wadi we walked up had a stream of clear water going down it. Needless to say, the kids preferred to walk in the water most of the way and they threw rocks the entire hike.
It is hard to tell from the pictures below, but the geology of the place was impressive. There were all types of rock formations and different types of rocks.
We passed a young shepherd who was tending to a flock of a couple hundred goats.
