• St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church - Explore the historic Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist, featuring a stunning Bell Tower that offers a breathtaking view of Madaba. Visit its underground museum dedicated to the memory of Saint John the Baptist. Enjoy some free time to explore a mosaic workshop, if interested.
• Madaba Mosaic Map - Depart from Amman. After being picked up from your hotel, travel in a climate-controlled vehicle with a private English-speaking driver and Wi-Fi on board. Admire Jordan’s desert landscapes as you journey south to Madaba. The driver will provide information on places of interest along the way but will not serve as a guide. Upon arrival, explore this ancient mosaic town with a history dating back to the 2nd century. The most famous is the mosaic map of Jordan and the Holy Land from the 6th century in the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, marked with points related to historical stories mentioned in the Bible.
• Mount Nebo - Next, ascend Mount Nebo, a sacred mountain in Jordan, standing at approximately 817 meters above sea level. Mount Nebo holds significant religious importance as a Judeo-Christian pilgrimage site. It is where Moses first saw the Promised Land from the summit and where Prophet Moses is believed to have died. Additionally, Egyptian monks built a small monastery on the summit in memory of Moses. In the fourth century, this church was reconstructed into a basilica. This basilica, which still stands on Mount Nebo today, features a collection of well-preserved Byzantine mosaics depicting images of wildlife and hunting. This site is not only of interest to history enthusiasts but also offers a panoramic view of the Holy Land and the Jordan River Valley from the summit.
• The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ - The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ is located on the Jordan side of the Jordan River. Known as Bethany beyond the Jordan in Biblical times, it is considered one of the three holiest sites of Christianity; it is where Jesus Christ was baptized by John, marking a highly significant historical and religious event. Take the opportunity to pray at this important pilgrimage site where many prophets have passed. The Baptism Site, known as ‘Maghtas’ in Arabic, is one of the most important recent discoveries in biblical archaeology. Excavations began there in 1996 and have already uncovered more than 20 churches, caves, and baptismal pools dating from the Roman and Byzantine periods. Experience this historical site, preserved as it was over 2000 years ago, filled with abundant flora and fauna. After enjoying these holy sites and the panoramic views, meet with your driver for the return journey, concluding with a hotel drop-off.
