30 km from Amman, has become known as the city of Mosaics. Madaba, repeatedly mentioned in the Old Testament as Medeba is one of the most memorable places in the Holy Land. Known as the City of Mosaics, some of the finest art of the early Christian centuries can be found in Madeba. Madaba’s real masterpiece, in the Church of Saint George, is the 6th Century AD mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land – The earliest religious map of the Holy Land in any form to service from antiquity.
10 km west of Madaba , is one of the most important biblical site in the country. It was from this peak perched in the lip of the range of mountains overlooking the Dead Sea, that God was said to have revealed the Promised Land to Moses and Moses is believed to have been buried. The well preserved mosaics in the church feature wine making and hunting scenes, with a number of birds and animals.
the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, ideally situated on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.
In the commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart restaurants, art galleries and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisans' workshops. Everywhere there is evidence of the city’s much older past.
Within an hour’s drive from Madaba along the picturesque King’s Highway, is Mukawir, Mukawir the hilltop stronghold of Herod the Great. Upon Herod’s death, his son Herod Antipas inherited the fortress and it is from here that he ordered John the Baptist to be beheaded after Salome’s fateful dance.
