For centuries, the King`s Highway was the principal route for traders travelling between Arabia and the Levant. It hugs the edge of the Great Rift Valley, with the Dead Sea filling the bottom of this huge split in the Earth. The highway crosses countless riverbeds and the availability of water made this a key trade route. These days, most heavy traffic takes the Desert Highway, leaving the winding switchbacks, dramatic vistas, castles and churches to the intrepid visitor. Some of the sights of the King`s Highway can be visited on a drive through Jordan between Amman and Petra.
