Day 2 : Dead Sea > Madaba (Mt. Nebo) > Mu'tah


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim


Okay, 2nd day in Jordan or the 1st day of the jaulah ;  we took off from the hostel early in the morning by the coaster or as-we-called-it a mini bus. The 1st destination was to the dead sea. Took about 2 hs from the hostel. The Dead Sea is so magical! So beautiful that even I can't explain. :) :) :)

DEAD SEA. Hmm, factually, it is a lake. Tapi, disebabkan saiz nya seluas lautan dan hampir menyerupai laut, ia dipanggil "Laut Mati". Kemasinan Laut Mati 8 kali ganda kemasinan air laut biasa. Hebat bukan? Subhanallah. There was no marine life living inside the water, neither plants nor fish. Hence, its name. The salinity is very high because of its high minerals content as dead sea is the lowest point of Earth. 
Historically, it was a great prove of punishment of The Lord, ALLAH swt to kaum Luth. Astaghfirullah.. Rasa sangat-sangat bertuah boleh menjejak kan kaki ke tempat bersejarah tu. Furthermore, Laut Mati ni dah included in one of the seven wonders of the Worlds. Hee. *bangga pulak dah* 

Hmm, kat Laut Mati tu, takde buat apa-apa pun. sebab masa diberi pun dua jam sahaja. Cukup untuk picnic and solat zuhur je. Lepas tu, jalan-jalan tepi laut tu, main-main air. Oh, air nya melekit sebab concentrated. Ha,  lepas tu, bila tangan dah kering, boleh nampak biji-biji halus garam melekat di kulit. Hehehe. Masa dekat tepian tu, tengok je orang terapung dalam air. Ya,waktu tu nak sangat ikut terjun dalam laut mati berenang dengan garam. Tapi, memandangkan waktu yang tak mencukupi untuk berkuak lentang atas air, terpaksa dibatalkan saje niat tu. Huhh. and now dah jadi my BIGGEST regret tak terjun sekali dalam air. Yelah, bila lagi ?

Kami solat ramai-ramai kat atas tikar je tepi laut. It was a good feeling as I never did it before. Hee. Then, we moved to Madaba. Perjalanan tu jauh gak, dalam sejam dua. Lupa dah. Tapi sempat tidur lah yang pasti. Hehe.










MADABA. Kat Madaba tu, we went to Mount Nebo. It is a holy place for Christians. As for Muslim, Mt Nebo pun ada disebut dalam sirah Nabi Musa. Hmm, dikatakan Mt. Nebo ni tempat persinggahan terakhir nabi Musa alaihissalam dan Nabi Musa dimakam kan di situ, tapi the exact place of His maqam is unknown. Wallahu'allam. Sorry couldn't tell more sebab tak pasti. Takut jadi kisah lain. Hee. Maaf. :|  
On the top of Mt Nebo, ada tinggalan sisa gereja zaman dahulu. Boleh tengok lagi mosaics-covered floor of the church. Ha, and the church now is rebuild, sponsored by France. There is also a replica of tongkat nabi Musa. tapi, replica je laaa. :) 

From the summit, boleh tengok seluruh Jordan. as it is the highest elevation of Jordan's land. Plus, boleh nampak Masjidil Aqsa kat Jerusalem on a very clear day. Tapi, nasib kami tak berapa nak baik haritu, kitorang tak nampak pun Masjid Al- Aqsa. :(  Then, we having a few shoots up there and moved to the next destination, Mu'tah. Hmm, to tell the truth, masa yang di spare kan di sesebuah destinasi tu sekejap je sebenarnya, tapi disebabkan masa perjalanan ke  satu-satu destinasi tu lama dan jauh. Its took a whole day for two or three places!












MU'TAH. Actually, we did nothing pun kat Mu'tah tu. Sekadar mahu menumpang tidur kat rumah sahabat malam tu. Oh, Mu'tah was veeeeeerryy cold. dalam rumah pun cakap berasap. and the the most epic punya sejuk is rumah tu takde sebarang heater. -.- Sangat sejukkk. Masa duk rilek-rilek okay lah. Bila time nak masuk tandas and nak ambik wuduk. Subhanallah... sejuknya tak terkata. sejuk sampai reach pain. True story. I wore 5 layers of clothes with 2 sweaters just to sleep -.- nasib tak tido pakai winter coat je. plus a muffler and a pair of gloves. -.- *Gaya nak tidur pun macam boleh keluar pergi skating dah*. Pastu mencelah kat between people-who-sleep masuk dalam saratoga besar terus masuk mimpi. Huhuhu.
*End of the day*
