Itinerario
Depart your Amman hotel by private, air-conditioned vehicle with your own private English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide, and make the scenic journey south toward Umm ar-Rasas. After roughly 2 hours, step outside to walk around what is one of Jordan’s most important archaeological sites. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004
Umm ar-Rasas features well-preserved Roman, Byzantine, and early Muslim ruins dating from the 3rd to the 9th centuries. Highlights include several Byzantine churches, notable for their still-vivid and hugely artistic floor mosaics.
After admiring the mosaics that depict everything from agriculture and hunting to cities like Jerusalem and Caesarea, move on to Madaba,
Madaba is a town famous for its early medieval mosaics. Best known among them is the 6th-century Mosaic Map, housed in Saint George’s Church. On arrival, meet a local guide, and tour Saint George’s, seeing its stunning mosaic — a depiction of the Holy Land and Jordan. Admire the detailed renderings of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and Jericho, noting the references to biblical locations
Next, visit Madaba’s Archeological Park, home to remnants of Byzantine churches and a 6th-century villa. Inspect the antiquities here, lingering at the beautiful villa mosaic that portrays the four seasons and Greek gods.
Continue to Mount Nebo, a mountain ridge where Moses is said to have seen the Holy Land before dying. Admire the views over the Jordan Valley, and on a clear day, to the Holy Land. Then, enter Mount Nebo church to see its fascinating historical mosaics picturing different figures. Absorb the intricate artworks showing soldiers, hunting, and animals, hear about their history and discovery. Lastly, visit a local mosaic workshop where mosaics are still made using centuries-old techniques. Watch as artisans’ piece together complex motifs from pieces of ceramics, glass, or stone, creating incredibly intricate images. Your tour concludes in Amman, with a hotel drop-off.
