Detailed itinerary
1
First, stop at Madaba city, often called the ‘City of Mosaics’. Madaba owes its popularity to a lavish mosaic map of the Holy Land that covers the floor of St George’s Church, and you'll step inside the church to see it.
This relatively modest 19th-century Greek Orthodox church houses a treasure of early Christianity. Imagine the excitement in 1884 when Christian builders came across the remnants of a Byzantine church on their construction site. Among the rubble, having survived willful destruction, fire, and neglect, the flooring they discovered wasn’t just another mosaic but one with extraordinary significance: to this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region.

St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church is a significant religious and historical site in the city of Madaba, Jordan. It is a popular destination for both pilgrims and tourists due to its deep historical roots and unique features.

Continue to Mount Nebo, the hill where the prophet Moses was said to have been granted a view of the Promised Land before he died. Admire the views of the Jordan Valley, where you can see the ancient lands of Judah and Jericho.

The mosaic will depict the entire route of the King’s Highway, and visitors can take part in the project by placing a piece into the mosaic. The museum also offers a variety of workshops for visitors of all ages.
