Madaba & Mount Nebo
Madaba Known as the ‘city of mosaics’, Madaba is in fact a small friendly town in the heart of the Holy Land. The earliest surviving original map of Jerusalem is to be found in Madaba. This beautifully detailed map can be found inside the Church of St. George and it forms part of a huge mosaic floor dating back to around AD560. Jordan, and Madaba in particular, is home to many Byzantine mosaics. Other famous biblical sites, including the site of Christ’s Baptism at Bethany, are close by.
Mount Nebo About 10km West of Madaba is the commanding peak of Mount Nebo. It offers stunning views over the Dead Sea, the Jordan Valley and the Holy Land towards Jerusalem. Mount Nebo is believed to be the summit which Moses climbed in order to look over the promised land – and the place where he died. The 6th century Basilica, houses some beautiful mosaics. We can arrange for you to visit other Holy Land and biblical sites in this area.
