マダバで宿泊したのは市街地にある4つ星ホテル『Mosaic City hotel』。綺麗で清潔なホテルで従業員の対応が非常によく、バーを併設しており、2晩とも利用しました。立地も市街地に位置しており、名所からも徒歩圏内で良し。WIFI速度も問題なし。朝食は種類多めで美味しかったです。
アカバから戻った時に宿泊時はセミスイートのような広い部屋にしてくれ大満足。

[Crowne Plaza Dead Sea Resort & Spa-a 5-star resort hotel in Jordan’s Dead Sea]
The hotel in the Dead Sea where I spent the year-end and New Year 2024 holidays. I stayed at Crowne Plaza Dead Sea Resort & Spa where is a luxury opened in 2012.
The main swimming pool which is 5,500㎡ is the main attraction and I could also enjoy swimming on the private beach of the Dead Sea.
Facilities such as several restaurants, gyms and spas are also available.
On the other side is Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The battle between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. In the West Bank (Palestinian Territories), there are sometimes coflicts, so there are few tourists from abroad,so I was able to book with the reasonable price despite the year-end and New Year holidays.
The cost is
About 136 USD including breakfast for 1 night× 3 nights=Total about 408 USD.
One of the sightseeing places in the Abdabi in UAE is the Ferrari theme park “Ferrari World Abu Dhabi”. There are many attractions and exhibits, but the main attraction is the world’s fastest roller coaster–Formula Rossa.
It reaches the maximum speed of 240 km per hour and reaches 100 km in 2 seconds.
The maximum gravity is 1.7G and the first straight line after starting to move is very fast, feeling the back being pressed against the seat seems to be amazing.
It takes about 1 minute.
