Sacred Heights & Mosaic Marvels

Travel through Jordan’s spiritual and artistic heart with a guided visit to Mount Nebo and Madaba. Stand atop the revered Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have glimpsed the Promised Land. Today, this sacred site is home to the “Church of Moses” and offers panoramic views stretching across the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and—on a clear day—even Jerusalem in the distance. Continue south to Madaba, the “City of Mosaics,” a treasure trove of early Christian artistry built atop 4,000 years of layered history. Explore the famed St. George’s Church, where a stunning 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land lies underfoot, and visit the Church of the Apostles to admire sea-themed mosaics crafted by the ancient artisan Salamanios.

Savor a delicious lunch at Haret Jdoudna, an authentic 19th-century village-style house turned restaurant, where you’ll enjoy traditional cuisine surrounded by local crafts, music, and mosaics. After your meal, relax on your scenic drive back to the Dead Sea, reflecting on the day’s beauty and heritage.
