Itinerary
As you drive from Amman to Madaba, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque countryside scenery of Jordan. The route takes you through rolling hills and farmlands, providing a glimpse of the country's natural beauty. It's a pleasant and scenic drive that allows you to soak in the landscapes of the Jordanian countryside.
We start the tour by driving to The Saint George Church in Madaba which will take 45 mins that has a famous mosaic map of the Holy Land from the 6th century covering the entire floor of the church, making it one of the oldest surviving representations of the region. The church is also known for its beautiful Byzantine architecture and is considered a significant pilgrimage site for Christians and a popular tourist destination.
Mount Nebo is located about 10 km west of Madaba, Jordan, and is believed to be the place where Moses saw the Promised Land before he died. The site has a long history of religious significance and has been visited by pilgrims for centuries. Visitors can explore the Mount Nebo Archaeological Park, which features several ancient structures and monuments, including the remains of the original 4th-century church and mosaics.
The Spiritual Path (Baptism Site): Continue to Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the UNESCO-listed site where Jesus was baptized. Walk through the reeds to the banks of the Jordan River and explore the archaeological remains of early Christian churches in an atmosphere of profound peace.
Last but not least, we'll reach the Dead Sea, a natural wonder like no other. Here, you'll experience the unique sensation of effortlessly floating on its salty waters. It's not just a relaxing dip; it's an opportunity to rejuvenate and unwind in a way you've never experienced before.
As your day of exploration comes to a close, your driver will ensure a safe and comfortable journey back to Amman. You can relax and reflect on the incredible places you've visited, knowing you'll soon be back in the capital city, Amman

A perfectly organized tour with excellent time management. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore and take photos. The scenery throughout the trip was stunning, especially from Mount Nebo.
Highly professional service from start to finish. The driver arrived on time, drove safely, and gave us useful recommendations. The Baptism Site was deeply meaningful, and the Dead Sea experience was unforgettable.
It was an amazing experience, well organized and very personalized. We ended up going to an amazing resort for a swim in the dead sea. There was tour in the baptism site and the experience was very nice.
The driver Omar was great. He also did a few extra stops nearby the main attractions mentioned (Another church with mosaics in Madaba, a mosaic store near Mt. Nebo, a beduin hearding his goats on the way towards the dead sea). He also helped us take oictures of us unpromted and helped us get with the mud at tge dead sea. For the locations themselves the final stop at the dead sea was probably my highlight. We went in late december and the sea was still ~24°C, the view of the sunset at the "Sea gate Resort" where we visited the dead sea was also really nice. Since sunset is the natural end to your visit here i would recommend not starting later than 8,5h before sunset (e.g. 8:30-9:00 in late december). Madaba at the beginning is a smaller stop, since it's more or less just one room, so having the second church with nore mosaics and the mosaic store was very nice. Mt. Nebo is a nice view (it was a bit hazy so we didn't see the other side of the dead sea) and there is a church with mosaics there as well. At the baptism site you get on a guided tour with all other people visiting the site at the time, as you're not allowed to visit by yourself due to border proximity. The minibus to the site is a bit crowded, but this experience is the same for everyone visiting here. The driver knew the timing of these Minibuses and got us here well timed for the next one. The last location with an several churches and the Jordan river was the most interesting one for me, as you could also see people on the other side visiting and baptising themselves (we were told that we can't talk to them though). All in all very nice tour. Thank you very much.
Omar was a great guide and driver. He is also very knowledgeable. I will recommend him and this tour. The best part was the Dead Sea as it will surprise you.
Such an amazing trip, booked again with Mohammed Srewa , the best driver in Amman,awesome places , Mount nebo, Mataba, baptism site...we are now friends forever, highly recommended.
Excellent day trip from Amman. My driver Omar was amazing and helped me have a wonderful day at Mt Nebo, Bethany and the Dead Sea.
Driver is excellent. Provides WiFi though his iPhone. Was able to see a lot in a relatively short period of time. Sites were amazing, particularly the baptism site which is shared on both sides of the river. There are many tour options to see the same sites. Cannot imagine anyone else doing more to ensure my safety and comfort and schedule
Excellent tour, Ahmad was a fantastic driver who took care of our every need. This tour also gives you a better chance to spend more time in to see second biggest roman city in the world
Great experience! Good driver, nice and fantastic sights. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great trip with a nice driver.
