After breakfast at the campsite, we head north along the Desert Highway. Taking a drive through the market town of Karak under the towering shadows of the Karak Crusader Castle built over the remains of earlier citadels some which date back to Nabataean times. The castle in itself is more imposing than beautiful, although it is an impressive example of the Crusaders' architectural military genius. The commanding view over the region is spectacular. We then continue to Wadi Mujib for some fun and adventure on the Siq Trail.  This lowest nature reserve on the planet is surrounded by massive multi-layered rock walls.  During your 2 hour hike, clamber up and over rocks against the river's current while holding on to the embedded rope for support. This water trail winds its way through a spectacular gorge ending at a large, rushing waterfall.  The trail is self-guided but there are people stationed along the way to help you through the more tricky areas if you need.  After your water adventure, continue to the world's largest natural spa and one of the most unique spots on earth - the Dead Sea to experience the strange sensation of floating effortlessly in the mystical waters, lounge around the pool, and take in the beautiful scenery.  Dinner and overnight at the Dead Sea.
