  2. Madaba Mosaic Map
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The Madaba Map, also known as the Madaba Mosaic Map, is part of a floor mosaic in the early Byzantine church of Saint George in Madaba, Jordan. The Madaba Map depicts part of the Middle East and contains the oldest surviving original cartographic depiction of the Holy Land and especially Jerusalem. It dates to the sixth century AD.
  3. Mount Nebo
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Mount Nebo is steeped in religious significance as it is believed to be the place that Moses stood on to view the sacred Promised Land before his death. According to the Book of Deuteronomy Moses died on Mount Nebo and was buried in Moab. In the fourth century, a small monastery was built by Egyptian monks on the mountain peak in memory of Moses. This church was then reconstructed in the fifth century into a basilica. The basilica still stands on Mount Nebo today and contains a fascinating collection of Byzantine mosaics.
  4. The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The archaeological site on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, about 9 km north of the Dead Sea, is of immense importance to Christianity because it is recognized as the place where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. For a long time, there have been disputes about whether this key event could have taken place on the western or eastern side of the Jordan River, but analyses of biblical and historical sources, as well as archaeological research, support the location of the site in what is now Jordan. This has also been confirmed and honored by the visit of three popes and the statements of high church dignitaries.
  5. Amman
    1h
    After experiencing these holy sights and enjoying the fantastic views, reconvene with your driver for the return journey, which ends with a hotel drop-off in Amman.
