Description

Explore Jordan's biblical landmarks on a day trip from Amman. Visit Madaba, Mount Nebo, and Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the site of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.
Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Amman and drive south toward Madaba, known as the "City of Mosaics." Visit Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church to admire the famous 6th-century Byzantine floor mosaic depicting the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land and Jerusalem.

Next, proceed to Mount Nebo, the iconic memorial site where Prophet Moses stood and viewed the Promised Land before his death. Visit the Memorial Church of Moses, home to beautifully preserved Byzantine mosaics, and gaze across the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Jericho, and the distant hills of Jerusalem.

Continue your pilgrimage to Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Al-Maghtas), located along the east bank of the Jordan River. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this is the authentic location where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. Walk through the peaceful archaeological trails, view the ancient baptismal pools, and stand by the sacred waters of the Jordan River.

After a deeply enriching spiritual tour, relax on board your modern, air-conditioned vehicle as you are transferred back to your hotel in Amman.
