In the museum, we came to the Bedouin section. There were some great artifacts of Bedouin living that harkened to the past. The clay oven, the tent (most of the time black top), the tools and even a long smoking pipe. (In the picture in the bottom, you can see a picture of a Bedouin lady smoking the long smoking pipe).

But the TV?

It does look like straight out of the 70s… but I would think it is post-Bedouin era!

I was not too sure about the claim. But I did Google it up and it is true. This is the lowest land in the world. A little south of the Dead Sea, this is the “Gawr” area. I am not 100% sure of this but I believe the term translates to “low lying areas” in Arabic.

The museum itself is in Gawr es-Safi. Has some great history lessons on how this area got the first humans and how things have evolved from there.

There is a mummified corpse from long past that completely spooked Sharmila.

Also, this has a coffee shop (a bit modern day, I admit) that serves some killer karak chai!

What I was missing was some Tequila and a lime

But it really just salt rocks with some mud layered in.

It reminded me of an armadillo (a rather well built one, at that)

(*) salty water

Everything you see below (and at this point we were quite high up at the car parking area) is made of salt!!
