After breakfast at your
hotel, meet your driver and drive on to Madaba,“the City of Mosaics", is best known for its spectacular
Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, is home to the famous 6th century mosaic map of
Jerusalem and the Holy Land. With two million pieces of colored stone, the map
depicts hills and valleys, villages, and towns as far as the Nile Delta. You
will visit the St. George Church with its famous mosaic map, continue to Mount
Nebo, one of the most revered holy sites of Jordan and the place where Moses
was buried. A small Byzantine church was built there by early Christians, which
has been expanded into a vast complex. During his visit to Jordan in 2000, the
Late Pope John Paul II held a sermon here that was attended by some 20,000
faithful. Start biking from Mount NEBO / passing through Ouin al theeb / finish at
Dead Sea (hotels area). Dead Sea, it is the lowest point on the face of the
earth. The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the warm, soothing, super
salty water itself – some ten times saltier than sea water, and rich in
chloride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium, bromine, and several others.
The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant, and mineral-rich waters have attracted
visitors since ancient times. Enjoy floating salty
water and mineral mud. Overnight and dinner in Dead Sea.
