Pick up from your hotel at the Dead Sea for a visit to the baptismal site of Jesus Christ (Bethany beyond Jordan). Then we head to visit MMadaba (St. George Church & Mosaic Map) - The mosaic-filled city of Madaba is just 30 minutes south of Amman on the Kings Highway.



The major highlight is the Greek Orthodox Basilica of St. George or the Church of the Map which portrays the old Holly Land with 2 Million pieces of mosaic, a huge well -preserved work of art comprises a map of the entire region of Jordan and Palestine in the north, to Egypt in the south. Madaba in the present time is famous with its Mosaic Schools and hand-woven rugs.



Proceed to Mount Nebo - Moses Mountain, situated 10 kilometres west of Madaba, overlooking the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, West Bank and Jerusalem, which is believed the alleged site of the tomb of Moses. The major highlight is the Byzantine Church built in the 4th century to memorialise Prophet Moses's death, and the spot where Moses viewed the “Land of Canaan” the Holy Land that he would not enter.



Now proceeding to Amman for a panoramic tour of the capital (no stopping at sites). Upon completion, transfer back to your hotel at the Dead Sea for drop-off.
