Hosteling is returning to Del Norte… this time with the influence of the Dead Sea. Jordanian Amir Alghusin plans to have his low-cost Redwood Hostel open by July. The hostel will serve budget-conscious travelers at an estimated $25 per night.
Redwood hostel and Spa will be able to bunk about 12 travelers with shared kitchens and privacy partitions for families. Steeped in rich western civilization history, Amir has worked closely with the Jordanian government in exporting a three-ton Dead Sea monolith and meticulously carving out a spa from this biblical boulder.

The spa will be filled with Dead Sea water, six times more salty than the ocean. Amir and Redwoods hostel will offer Dead Sea baptism in the holy water. The Dead Sea water utilized will be stored, recycled and sent back to its ancestral home…a truly unique experience.
The invited guests experienced the satin-like texture of the Dead Sea water. Amir gave the folks on hand a gift of a neatly-wrapped Dead Sea bar of soap.
Redwoods Hostel is returning hosteling to Del Norte since the removal of the Redwood Youth Hostel off Wilson Creek Rd, in Klamath. The long-vacant hostel was in a continuing state of deterioration and subject to vandalism until National Parks (NPS) leveled the building in 2019.
