St. George's Church in Madaba

Madaba (مادبا) is near Dead Sea and famous for byzantine-era mosaics. This small city has one of the largest Christian population in Jordan. The must-visit place is the 19th-century Greek Orthodox St. George Church, where on the floor there is the mosaic map of the biblical sites from Egypt to Palestine. Because of it, the church is always full of visitors and believers.

Dead Sea

Dead sea is one of the most popular and famous places to visit in Jordan. It's the world's saltiest lake, which is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean, so no animal is able to survive in it. The Dead Sea has a high density, which makes swimmers and non-swimmers easily floating on it.

Being Jordan for 10 months, I didn't visit this spot until last weekend. Because of some old injury on the leg, I didn't swim but enjoy the nice weather and the beauty of the water. Its surface and shores are 423 meters below sea level, so it's a lot of fun to set the feet on the earth's lowest elevation on land.
