Overview
Mount Nebo, located near Madaba in central Jordan, is one of the country’s most significant religious and historical sites. According to tradition, this is the mountain where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. Today, it is a popular excursion for cruise passengers docking at Aqaba, Jordan’s main port on the Red Sea. From Aqaba, travelers journey inland to explore Mt. Nebo, often paired with visits to Madaba’s famous mosaics or even Petra.
The site features a Franciscan monastery, preserved mosaics from early Christian churches, and sweeping views across the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on clear days.
Explore the basilica with its restored mosaics.
Tip: The mosaic floor dates back to the 6th century.
