After concluding our tour in Madaba, we will embark on a 20-minute drive to reach Mt. Nebo, where Moses first glimpsed the Promised Land. From here, enjoy a panoramic view of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Jericho, and the hills of Judea. On clear days, you can even see the distant spires and domes of the Mount of Olives. We will visit the contemporary church, which was reconstructed into a basilica and displays mosaics from successive pilgrimage churches. This basilica, still standing on Mount Nebo today, boasts well-preserved Byzantine mosaics depicting wildlife and hunting scenes. This site offers both historical significance and breathtaking views of the Holy Land and the Jordan River Valley.

Descend to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth's surface, with a 40-minute drive to reach the Baptism Site. Tour the newly-excavated Maqdas Baptismal Site. Biblical archaeologists, working from clues supplied by the Madaba mosaic map, believe this to be the spot where John the Baptist lived and worked, and where Jesus was baptized in the waters of the Jordan River. The extensive water channels, cisterns and baptismal fonts, as well as the impressive size of the very early (3rd-4th Century) pilgrimage churches on this site, certainly suggest that this is where the earliest Christian pilgrims believed the Baptism took place. The walk past "Elijah's well" to the St. John church on the banks of the Jordan is a pleasure in itself, as you follow the winding trail through marshes of high reeds and tamarisk trees. After indulging & experiencing these holy sights & reveling in the panoramic views, reconvene with your driver for an hour return to Amman, ending with a hotel drop-off.
