Visit St. George’s Church in Madaba and learn of the city’s rich history. Enjoy panoramic views over the Jordan Valley from the top of Mount Nebo, and admire ancient relics and mosaics in a Franciscan monastery. Then, soak up the sunshine and enjoy free time to swim in the Dead Sea’s salty waters.Start your day trip after being picked-up from your Amman hotel by your private drive who is knowledgeable about the area, its history, and will point out sites of interest along the way.
First, stop at Madaba city, often called the ‘City of Mosaics’. Madaba owes its popularity to a lavish mosaic map of the Holy Land that covers the floor of St George’s Church and you'll step inside the church to see it.
Continue to Mount Nebo, the hill where the prophet Moses was said to have been granted a view of the Promised Land before he died. Admire views of Jordan Valley, seeing the ancient lands of Judah and Jericho. Visit inside the Franciscan monastery, which is built on the site of Mount Nebo’s ancient church, to see relics and mosaics.
Have a chance to relax, and there are few places better to do so than at the lowest point on Earth: the Dead Sea. Considered as one of the world’s true natural wonders, the impressive body of water is fed by a collection of incoming rivers that gush to its land-locked shores. The waters are unable to flow elsewhere, so they evaporate and leave behind a rich concentration of natural salt that attributes to the Dead Sea’s famous buoyancy.
Relax on one of the public beaches, or upgrade to spend your free time at the Dead Sea Tourist Beach Rest House. Bob around in the Dead Sea’s salty water, as you recline on the surface. How you spend your time at either site is up to you; just remember to bring your bathing suit, a towel and sunscreen.
In the late afternoon, travel back to Amman with your private driver, and return to your place of pickup.
