2009 Christmas-Dead Sea

This year hubbie gave me a massage package as my christmas present. I do not have any object as a remembrance but a sweet memory. We celebrated this christmas at Movenpick Resort, Dead Sea. We spend a night there with complimentary of buffet dinner and breakfast. We had our room upgraded from standard room to a premium room as hubbie wrote in the comment box that we will be having our honeymoon during the reservation. Well, we are happy with the upgrade as the room is with balcony and private swimmng pool! And, they gave us lots of souvenier which mostly are the minerals products from the Dead Sea. They even decorated our room with roses. I think we really got a great deal so don't remember to mention that you will be celebrating anniversary or honeymoon like us in order to get a free upgrade! Maybe not all hotels will be giving such upgrade but no harm for a try!

Okie, back to my chirtsmas pressie, it's actually a sunset couple massage. We will be having our massage open air while enjoying the sunset. We actually enjoyed the sunset after the massage coz the massage was too comfy and we fall asleep. I think pictures will be the best to describe about it :)

We get our foot massage before the body massage. You may see the water was muddy in colour, but it was not because of the dirty foot. They actually use the mineral mud to clean our foot.

We were served with arabic coffee while having the foot massage. Anyway, the coffee taste like " air longkang".

This is what I meant, the couple sunset massage :) Okie, we were not naked. I am wearing bikini and hubbie wearing his beach shorts.

After the massage, we were served cocktails while enjoying the sunset.

See...our therapists also took their chance to catch a sunset picture while waiting for us.

Overall, we were quite satisfied except for the price. We paid 250JD for the massage which is almost equivalent to RM 1250. We do understand that with this money we can have 12 times of  body massage in Sri Petaling, but I guess hubbie just wanna give me something special and he did accomplished it! Thus, the money spent was still worth it :)

Another thing I would like to blog here in this entry is about the Dead Sea. Some of my friends did asked me what is the special or unique about it. Well, the Dead Sea is over 400 metres (1,312 ft.) below sea level. Being the lowest point on the face of the earth, this vast, stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers, including the Jordan River. Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are land-locked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving behind a dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products. Thus the mud from Dead Sea are like precious.

People normally will rub the mud all over their face and body. The mud is provided from Movenpick.

Aha..my "Ah Neh" hubbie...

You have to wait the mud dry up before washing it off at the sea itself.

The unusually high salt content enables one to float effortlessly even though you are damn heavy.

Hubbie having fun!

Dead Sea is one of the tourist attraction of Jordan so make sure you try the mud and float whatever style you want. hehe...

And here, we hope is not too late to wish you all have a good year ahead and may GOD bless you.
