Jordan. Dead sea. Jordanians tourists (men, women and children) take a bath, swimm and float on the salt water. The families enjoy themselves on a sunny friday afternoon. Friday is the day off (resting day) in the arabian culture. The women wear long dresses and a veil on their head as part of muslim tradition and religion. On the other side of the sea is Palestine and the West Bank (Occupied Territories by Israel). © 2002 Didier Ruef
