Hi everyone! 😆
I’m Earth-Exploding Fairy! 🧚‍♀️🌏✨✨

After an amazing, heat-filled trip in Kuwait, my next stop was Jordan! 🇯🇴
And of course, my journey here started with an unexpected twist 🤣 Today, I’m sharing Day 1 of my "explosive" itinerary—from a late-night arrival to finally reaching my dream destination, the Dead Sea!

✈️ 11:30 PM: Saved by "Japan Love" at Amman Airport 🇯🇵

My flight from Kuwait arrived at Amman Airport around 11:00 PM.
Since Japanese citizens don't need a visa, I headed toward immigration with confidence... but the airport was so huge that I got lost immediately! 🤣😂
While I was wandering around, a local person asked me, "Immigration? Where are you from?"
When I replied, "I'm Japanese!", they said:
"Oh! Welcome!! We love Japanese people! You don't need a visa, it's that way!"
They were so incredibly kind and guided me through 🥹 I felt so welcomed by the "Japan love" in Jordan right from the start! 😍🙏
But once I stepped outside after clearing immigration... "Wait, it’s freezing!!!" 🥶🥶🥶
Amman in winter gets surprisingly cold at night. I was so glad I brought my down jacket! If you're visiting in winter, don't forget your cold-weather gear—the temperature difference can be intense! 👍

⚠️ Travel Tips:
• The Wi-Fi environment in Amman was great! 👍
• My eSIM worked perfectly too ✌️ I always use AIRSIM. 😊

🛌 A Last-Minute Hotel Win! But a Little Incident?! 😂

I successfully met up with a local contact at the airport, and after about an hour’s drive, I arrived at my home for the night: "46 Serviced Apartments" 🏨

• Cheap & Clean! It was surprisingly beautiful for a last-minute find 😳
• Amazing Staff! The receptionists were so kind and professional 🥹

I highly recommend this place if you're staying in Amman! 😉✨
Actually, I had been comparing prices and plans on both Trip.com and Agoda. While Agoda was also very tempting with its low rates, I ultimately chose Trip.com this time because of their excellent customer support, which was crucial for such a last-minute booking!
However... just when I thought I could finally sleep, the bedroom lights wouldn't turn on! (LOL) 💡🤣
Well, it was already night, so I figured, "Who cares? This is part of the adventure!" and fell into a deep sleep 😴💤

🏖️ "I want to go to the Dead Sea!" A miracle born from zero planning 🤩✨✨

As of the next morning, I had "absolutely no plans!"
Usually, I’m a hardcore planner, but this day I decided to just go with the flow.
I looked into tours to the Dead Sea, but solo participation often comes with a hefty surcharge.

💡 Quick Travel Tip: How to choose tours

• VELTRA: Best for groups since it gets cheaper with more people!
• GetYourGuide / Klook: Highly recommended for solo travelers as they offer many affordable options! I usually use these or Trip.com. 👍

Right then, a local I had been in touch with before messaged me at the perfect time.
"Want to head to the Dead Sea right now?"
Wait, right now?! ...I’m in!! 🤣😂 This hilarious turn of events led to a sudden decision to hit the Dead Sea! 😂👏

🌊 Dream Come True! Floating & Mud Mask Festival at the Dead Sea

I booked an affordable hotel with a private beach on short notice!
I heard that if you’re going to the Dead Sea, booking a "hotel with a private beach" is a must compared to public beaches! It’s much more relaxing and the facilities are well-equipped.
So, even though I had already paid for another night at my hotel in Amman, I checked out anyway. (The staff was worried, asking "Is there a problem?!", but we said our goodbyes on great terms! 😂)
Finally, I checked into my Dead Sea hotel!
I highly recommend "DEAD SEA SPA RESORT" as it was one of the more affordable options near the water.
The room was spacious, beautiful, and clean—plus there was a pool! (I was having too much fun and forgot to take photos lol 🤣)
I was able to find a great deal for this hotel on Agoda! 👍
I changed into my swimsuit in my room and headed straight for the sea!

Finally... I’m face-to-face with the legendary Dead Sea! 🥹🌊✨

At first, I was terrified of sinking and was screaming like a kid, splashing around. I actually got water in my eyes several times and it really stung (lol), but once I got used to it, I was truly floating! 🤩😂
I even shared "mud masks" and chatted with the other tourists around me.

After swimming, I relaxed in a shaded rest area on the beach. It was such a blissful time. 🙏💖

The sun in Jordan is incredibly strong, so for sun protection, I recommend buying Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk NA on Rakuten! It's always a "must-buy" for my overseas trips. 👍

If I had gone to a public beach, there might not have been any place to rest, and I wouldn't have been able to relax at all. 🤔
By the end, I had worked up such an appetite from playing around that I wolfed down a nearby Shawarma (Middle Eastern sandwich)! 🤤 (Keep it a secret that I was so dazed I forgot to take a photo of it too! w)

⏭️ Coming Up Next
Tomorrow morning, I’ll check out early and head from the Dead Sea back to the Amman bus center. From there, I’ll take a highway bus toward the stunning desert landscape of Wadi Rum! 🏜️
