More Jordan videos

Approaching The Treasury, Petra (famous site from the movie :Indiania Jones and the last Crusade).
If you have watched the movie before, just imagine that you are indiania jones approaching the site. It is a spectacular view and experience. Petra is an ancient city built before and during the times of Christ. Full of pagan worships tho. It is one of the world wonders.



Closeup view of one of the tombs in Petra.
Did you see my wife resting on one of the chairs at the entrance? Lots of walking and climbing in Petra..



Viewing the promised land from Mount Nebo - just like how Moses saw it.
From this mountain, you can see the most of Israel - however, it may not be too clear from this video. Jericho and the Dead Sea (on the left) can be seen clearly from this spot.



Complex tunnels found in Karak Castle - built by the Crusaders in est AD1000.
Just a small section of the entire castle. tunnels can be found within the castle structure. btw, it is also very cooling when you get down to the tunnels as compared to the heat outside.



Demo on how to float on the Dead Sea.
For those who have been trying to visualize how floating on the Dead Sea is like, here is a demo by my wife. On the exterior, the Dead Sea looks the same as any other seas. I have tried to taste the sea water. It is simply extreme salt. So, going down there with a small cut is not a good idea. : )
