Mount Nebo

Visiting Mount Nebo: where Moses viewed the Promised Land, the serpent cross and views.

Mount Nebo, about 800 metres above the Jordan Valley, is where tradition says Moses looked out over the Promised Land. Its memorial church holds glittering Byzantine mosaics and a striking modern serpentine cross sculpture.

On a clear day you can see the Dead Sea, the Jericho plain and even Jerusalem. Sunset is the best time. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan treat it as a serene stop between Amman and the Dead Sea, and full package tours to Jordan combine Nebo and Madaba on the classic route.
