About this tour

This 3 day Mount Nebo and Baptism Site tour, which also takes in Madaba, is for travellers with little time who want to see Jordan’s essential biblical sites. It starts at Amman airport, lasts three days and two nights, and keeps both nights in Amman with breakfast and dinner marked on each day.

The first day begins with an Amman city tour of the old city, the Roman Theatre and the Citadel, followed by free time downtown. On the second day you see the 6th-century mosaic map in Madaba, the view from Mount Nebo, the Baptism Site at Bethany Beyond the Jordan and the nearby Hill of Elijah, and then float in the Dead Sea before returning to Amman.

The last day takes you to Mukawir, the hilltop fortress where Herod Antipas imprisoned John the Baptist, and to the UNESCO-listed mosaics of Umm ar-Rasas, before your transfer to Amman airport.

In Madaba, the "City of Mosaics", see the 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land in the Church of St. George. Then climb Mount Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land, and look out over the Jordan Valley towards Jericho and Jerusalem. Visit the Baptism Site, Bethany Beyond the Jordan, where John the Baptist lived and baptised Jesus (John 1:28). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Jordan. Nearby, visit the Hill of Elijah (Tell Mar Elias), traditionally linked to the prophet Elijah's ascent to heaven. Continue to the Dead Sea. At the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth at more than 400 metres below sea level, the salty water lets you float with ease, and the mineral-rich mud is famous for its benefits. Return to Amman for dinner and overnight. Meals: breakfast, dinner.

Visit Mukawir, the hilltop fortress of Machaerus where Herod Antipas imprisoned John the Baptist (Matthew 14:3–11), with views across the Dead Sea.
