  Day 1: Arrival in Jordan – Mount Nebo – Madaba – Petra Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, you will be met and assisted by our representative before beginning your journey. Your first stop is Mount Nebo, the sacred site where Moses is believed to have viewed the Promised Land. Today, the mountain stands as an important pilgrimage destination and memorial site. Visit the Church of Moses, built by early Christians, and admire its remarkable Byzantine mosaics. From the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and, on clear days, even Jerusalem in the distance. Continue to Madaba, known as the “City of Mosaics,” to see the famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land. After your visit, travel south toward Petra for overnight accommodation at a 4-star hotel.

  Madaba, the 'City of Mosaics', stands perched on an archaeological site with more than 4,000 years of history buried beneath it. The quality and quantity of mosaic flooring has made Madaba one of the most prominent cities in the world for mosaics. St. George's Church houses the world-famous mosaic floor depicting a large mosaic map of Palestine. Centrally located on this mosaic floor is a detailed map of Jerusalem as it was during the sixth century AD. At the Church of the Apostles, at the southern entrance of the city, is a mosaic floor attributed to the craftsman Salamanios, depicting the sea, with the central figure of a woman encircled with a selection of creatures, vegetation and an inscription.
