Madaba's Sacred & Mosaic Wonders

Madaba is a historic Jordanian city renowned for its extensive collection of Byzantine-era mosaics and early Christian landmarks. The city features the 6th-century Madaba Map at Saint George Church and the Moses Memorial Church on the summit of Mount Nebo. Beyond its religious sites, the area includes the archaeological remains of the Burnt Palace and provides access to the hypersaline waters of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth.
