Al-Maghtas includes two principal archaeological areas. The remnants of a monastery on a mound known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah’s Hill) and an area close to the river with remains of churches, baptism ponds and pilgrim and hermit dwellings.

Proceed to Madaba.

On the 6th century AD map are easily identified the River Nile, the Jordan River, Lake Tiberias and the Dead Sea in addition to many cities such as Bethlehem, Gaza and Jerusalem.

Continue to Mount Nebo, which dates back to the time of the Prophet Moses, around the 12th century BC, is believed to be the site of the Prophet’s burial place and the point from where he viewed the “Promised Land”. Visit the remains of the mosaic floors with stunning designs that feature hunting and pastoral scenes, found in the small church, built by the early Christians in the 4th century AD. From a platform in front of the church, a visitor may see a bronze memorial of a snake on a cross, which symbolizes the serpent lifted up by Moses in the desert, as well as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
