Moses was buried on this mountain by God himself, and his final resting place is unknown.
Mount Nebo Jordan On the highest point of the mountain, Syagha, the remains of a church and monastery were discovered in 1933. The church was first constructed in the second half of the 4th century to commemorate the place of Moses' death. It was enlarged in the late fifth century A.D. and rebuilt in 597A.D. Six tombs have been found hollowed from the natural rock beneath the mosaic-covered floor of the church.

The ancient city of Petra was built from 800 BC to 100 AD by the Nabetean Arabs.  Overnight Petra.

Day 5 : Jordon

 After breakfast – Wadi Rum, 2 hour 4x4 Jeep Ride – Wadi Rum puts life into perspective. "Rum's glory would not let a man waste himself in feverish regrets," said T E Lawrence (of Arabia), whose descriptions have immortalised the place for so many of us.
Nothing much has changed in the 90 years since Lawrence was here. The timelessness, the silence, the scale of it all; sheer cliffs, limitless sand and the blood red of approaching night. So any tour of Rum must capture some of this magic to be worthwhile. It's almost impossible in half a day -- but if that's all the time you have then we will try. Better to stretch it to full day; at least we can stop to breath the air and touch the rocks and enjoy a cup of bedouin tea and wonder why and how people live here. Overnight Dead Sea area.

Day 6 : Jordon

 After breakfast – Dead Sea, enjoy floating & mud Bathing – Bethany -The Baptism Site (Arabic: el-Maghtas) on the Jordan side of the Jordan River is one of the most important recent discoveries in biblical archaeology.

Although the identification is not absolutely certain, archaeology has shown that the area known as Wadi Kharrar has long been believed to be the biblical Bethany-beyond-the-Jordan, where John the Baptist lived and Jesus was baptized.– Overnight Amman.

After breakfast – Transfer to Queen Alia INTL Airport for departure.
