Photos of Syria and Jordan: Madaba, Dead Sea, King's Highway

This is a series of photos taken in March 2009 in Madaba, on the Dead Sea, in Karak, and on several places along the King's highway and Desert highway. If you have a car, the Dead Sea and Karak can be reached easily from Madaba on a day trip. Madaba is an ideal base for exploring central Jordan if you don't intend to stay in Amman – it is located only a few kilometers from Queen Alia Airport.
