Journey to the historic town of Madaba, home to the world-famous 6th-century Mosaic Map of Palestine in St. George’s Church.

Immerse yourself in the artistry and historical significance of this unique masterpiece, a true window into the ancient world.

Continue to the sacred Mount Nebo, where Prophet Moses is said to have gazed upon the Promised Land before his death and is traditionally believed to be his final resting place. Explore the ancient monastery at the summit, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the distant landscapes of the Holy Land. Pause for a delightful lunch (available for guests choosing the Luxury Option), soaking in the serene atmosphere of this historic and spiritual landmark.
