Sitting in the middle of a massive canyon that makes its way from sea level down to the lowest point on earth (The Dead Sea) is the beautiful Six Senses Resort and Spa. Six Senses is a brand of high end, high aesthetics hotels located in mostly Asian countries. When I say high end, I mean serious money. Rooms start at about two hundred dollars per night and work their way up to over a thousand. I got an 8 oz can of Coke with dinner that cost $5.50 (street price in Amman is $.35). Costs aside, the resort is one of the most peaceful places I've visited in Jordan (or in any country come to think of it). The resort is surrounded by a series of geo-thermal waterfalls. One is part of the Six Senses Spa, shown in the bottom photo, and the larger serves as a backdrop to the hotel proper. Julie and I ate dinner by candlelight on a couch that looks out over that waterfall. We also sat on our deck with a bottle of wine in complete silence under a planetarium of stars.
