2. The summit of the Siyagha, 700 m above the Jordan Valley overlooking the NE part of the Dead Sea, is believed to be Mount Nebo, the place where Moses - the prophet revered by the three monotheistic religions - has been shown the Promised Land, and where he died. Today, Mount Nebo is an active Memorial, Franciscan monastery, and archaeological site that attracts visitors from the whole world, not only because of its historical and religious significance, but also because of the outstanding artistic value of the architectural remains and Byzantine mosaics that it preserves and displays.

3. Situated on the eastern bank of the River Jordan, nine kilometres north of the Dead Sea, the archaeological site consists of two distinct areas: Tell Al-Kharrar, also known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah’s Hill) and the area of the churches of Saint John the Baptist near the river. Situated in a pristine natural environment the site is believed to be the location where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. It features Roman and Byzantine remains including churches and chapels, a monastery, caves that have been used by hermits and pools in which baptisms were celebrated, testifying to the religious character of the place. The site is a Christian place of pilgrimage.

About Amman

Amman, Jordans hovedstad, breder sig over bakker, med romerske ruiner, travle souker og en varm velkomst i begyndelsen af enhver Jordan-rejse.

Amman Citadel kroner Jabal al-Qal'a med Herkules-templet, Umayyadernes palads og vid udsigt over byen. Nedenfor rummer det romerske teater, udhugget i bakkesiden, tusinder, og soukerne i centrum omkring den store Husseini-moské sælger krydderier, guld og slik, med duften af kaffe og kardemomme i luften.

Top-ranked sights in Amman: Petra, Jerash (Gerasa), Ajloun Castle.
