Descrizione

Day trip from Amman to a Madaba mosaic workshop, Mount Nebo, the Baptism Site, and the Dead Sea, shared or private, in a 2024+ air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi, water, and a Jordanian heritage gift.
See how Madaba's mosaics are made, then visit three of Jordan's best-known sites west of Amman: Mount Nebo, the Baptism Site on the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea.

Your day starts with pickup from your hotel in Amman, in a modern 2024+ air-conditioned vehicle with free Wi-Fi and complimentary bottled water. The first stop is Madaba, where the floor of St. George's Church holds a 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land.

Before leaving Madaba, you visit a local mosaic workshop. For about 30 minutes, you watch artisans cut and set stone by hand, using the same techniques as the mosaic you have just seen in the church. It is a stop most day trips on this route leave out, and it shows that mosaic-making in Madaba is a living craft, not only a museum piece.

From there it's a short drive to Mount Nebo, where tradition holds that Moses looked out over the Promised Land. On a clear day you can see the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea from the viewpoint, and the memorial church has its own Byzantine mosaics.

You then descend to the Baptism Site at Bethany Beyond the Jordan. Visits here are run by the site itself as a shuttle tour of about 90 minutes, which takes you to the baptism area and the bank of the Jordan River.

The day ends at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. You visit a 5-star resort, either Crowne Plaza or Holiday Inn depending on availability on the day, and have about 3 hours to float, use the pools, and relax. Your driver waits and then takes you back to Amman.

Your driver handles the driving and timing but does not guide inside the sites. Choose a shared trip at a fixed price per person, or a private trip for your own group only. Every guest receives a complimentary Jordanian heritage gift.
