Itinerary
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.
The St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church in Madaba, Jordan, is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered! While not as widely known as some of the city's iconic sites like the Church of St. George, this charming church offers a unique blend of history, religious significance, & architectural beauty. Historical Gem: Built in the 19th century, the church stands as a testament to Jordan's rich Christian heritage. Its elegant stone façade & stained glass windows whisper stories of devotion & faith across generations. Architectural Intrigue: The church's design blends Western & Eastern influences, showcasing a graceful mixture of Romanesque & Byzantine architectural styles. Take in the delicate arches, the intricate detailing around the entrance, & the peaceful courtyard adorned with greenery. Religious Significance: Dedicated to St. John the Baptist, a pivotal figure in both Christianity & Islam, the church offers a space for quiet contemplation & prayer for visitors of all faiths
Keep exploring to Mount Nebo, the hill where Prophet Moses was believed to have been given a glimpse of the Promised Land before his passing. Enjoy the stunning views of the Jordan Valley, explore the historic lands of Judah and Jericho, and step inside the Franciscan monastery. This peaceful site, built on the spot of the ancient church of Mount Nebo, offers fascinating relics and beautiful mosaics to discover.
After a buffet lunch at the Dead Sea Hotel (included in the price), you 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 landlocked 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; remember to bring your bathing suit, a towel, and sunscreen. Then, relax during the return trip to Amman.

This was a wonderful tour from Amman to the edge of the Holy land in the Jordan Valley. This tour takes you to major biblical historic sites in Jordan. The baptismal site of Jesus, the Jordan River, the Jordan Valley, and the Dead Sea. You are just across the river from Jericho. Simply amazing. Our tour guide was Bardaghawi, and he was outstanding! So friendly and welcoming! He was so helpful in providing information on the sites we visited as well as general historical information. I definitely recommend him and this company for all your tours while visiting Jordan. The absolute best!

I booked the excursion the day before and was immediately contacted by the agency and then by the very professional and friendly Adnan guide, beautiful experience from the churches of madaba to Mount Nebo, then to the baptisium place and finally to relax at the dead sea with an endless buffet lunch, Adnan was always available and explained everything in detail. Recommended.

Great trip with Muhammad. Picked up right on time with waters in the car and he loaded our luggage since we went right to the airport at the end of the tour. He took us to some very interesting churches, helped us negotiate better prices with vendors/shops when we were getting snacks and desserts and was a great companion for the day. We started and ended exactly on time and I was really happy to have him as our driver/guide/advocate for the day. He was willing to customize too as we had a few special requests that he worked around. Flexible, friendly and a great driver!

We had an experience simply score 1000 with guide Muhammad Ali! He took us to the Citadel, Madaba to see the Church of St. George, we climbed Mount Nebo and we also visited the Jordan River. Always anticipated, super organized, brought drinks in the car for our comfort and made every stop a special moment. Highly recommended!

Great tour and private! Driver was on time for pick up. I had Yones as my driver, he was nice and very helpful with anything that I needed! Mount Nebo was a highlight and the food from the lunch buffet was more than enough and delicious! The Dead Sea is an experience which hope to do again. I highly recommend this tour. Manager Mohammad texting me the night before giving me all the details for the next day. Glad I booked.

Incredible tour. Getting to stand where Moses stood was so uplifting. It's really inspiring, even if you aren't particularly religious. Mr. Mint was an excellent driver and guide, he did a great job explaining everything. Highly recommend this tour and his service.
