Madaba, Jordan

Madaba

The city of mosaics and a place of great historical value. This city was an important training center for mosaic artists in Byzantine times. In the St George church you can see a mosaic map of the Palestinian territories from the 6th century. A little further on you have the archaeological park which is a feast of mosaics!

Mount Nebo, Jordan

Mount Nebo

‘Mount Nebo, where Moses overlooked the Promised Land’ The view from this approx 750m above sea level mountain is impressive. You can see as far as the Dead Sea and the Israeli border. There is a little church on the top with some beautiful mosaics inside. We liked these mosaics even more than these from Madaba!
