Petra, Madaba and Mount Nebo 2-Day Tour

This 2-day tour combines Petra — the ancient Nabatean capital — with Madaba's extraordinary Byzantine mosaics and the Biblical mountain where Moses glimpsed the Promised Land. Travel from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv to the Jordanian border, then south to Petra. Day 1: Guided tour of Petra — walk through the Siq's towering sandstone walls to the famous Treasury, continuing to the Obelisk Tomb, Royal Tombs, and the 2,000-seat Nabatean Theater carved from solid rock. Lunch at a local Jordanian restaurant. Overnight near Petra. Day 2: Drive north to Madaba — the 'City of Mosaics' — to see the 6th-century Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land in St. George's Church, the oldest existing cartographic representation of Palestine and Lower Egypt. Continue to Mount Nebo, where Moses stood and viewed the Promised Land before his death, with breathtaking panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and on a clear day, the towers of Jerusalem. Return to Israel. Best seller. Departs Monday and Wednesday.
