Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Church of Saint George, Madaba Jordan

Start your day trip with a pickup from your Amman hotel and meet your private driver for the day who is knowledgeable about the area and its history, and is able to point out sites of interest along the way. The first stop will be at Madaba city, known as 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. Head inside the church to see it, and learn about its history as well as the town’s other ancient biblical sites from a local guide.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Mount Nebo, Madaba Jordan

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, and head inside the Franciscan monastery, which is built on the site of Mount Nebo’s ancient church, to see relics and mosaics. 

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Sohum Spa at Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort & Spa, Sweimah Jordan

After a buffet lunch at the Dead Sea Hotel (included in the price), have a chance to relax. There are few places better to do so than at the lowest point on Earth: the Dead Sea. Considered 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 at one of the beaches, or upgrade and spend your free time at the Dead Sea tourist beach rest house. Bob around in the Dead Sea’s salty water, perhaps reading a newspaper 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.

Then, relax during the return trip to Amman.
