The Dead Sea is of course the body of water at the bottom left. Here is the elevation profile.

As you can see, it was mostly downhill - quite a LOT of downhill! Having said that, much of it was in the teeth of a pretty strong headwind, so it wasn't quite the exhilarating free-wheel it looks from the profile. Still, a lot of fun.
We had spent the morning at St George's Monastery in Madaba, looking at the fine mosaics, and were itching to hit the road, so although it was a short cycle, we felt well justified by the time we reached the Dead Sea.
