Mount Nebo is where Moses is said to have seen the promised land, with views over Israel and the Dead Sea. On the top of the mount is the Moses memorial church built on 4th century foundations in 597. It houses some of the best preserved mosaics in Jordan and was visited by Pope John Paul II in 2000.
St George’s church is in Madaba six miles from Mount Nebo. Although a small Greek Orthodox Church, during its construction the builders discovered the ruins of a Byzantine church with a highly significant mosaic – the oldest map of Palestine. Completed in 560 it depicts all the major biblical sites of the Middle East.
