How much free time do I get at each site?

The tour is designed to allow independent exploration at each location. Your driver-guide will advise on optimal timing, but you have flexibility to spend more time at sites of particular interest within the 10-hour tour window.

With limited public transport available, doing your own day trip to the Christianity-linked sites around Amman can be difficult. This private faith-based tour makes it easy: taking you to Madaba to see its 6th-century Holy Land mosaic; then proceed to Mount Nebo, the reputed site of Moses’ death; afterwards visit Jesus’ believed baptism location on the River Jordan recognized by the Vatican. Then visit the desert of Moab. Optional upgrade to Lot’s Cave is available upon request, mentioned in the Bible making this tour very special to the pilgrimage tourist out there. The tour includes private air-conditioned transport with leisure vehicle and English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide. This tour also offers local guides at Madaba and Jordan River.

Highlights

✓6th-century Byzantine mosaics at Madaba's Church of St. George, including the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land

Insider tips

★Visit Mount Nebo early in your tour day—morning light and clearer air enhance the distant views toward the Dead Sea and Israel/Palestine
★Wear comfortable walking shoes; multiple sites involve uneven terrain and modest slopes
★Request the Lot's Cave upgrade in advance if interested; this adds depth to the Moab desert experience and biblical narrative
★Bring sun protection and water; even in cooler months, Jordan's desert sun is intense, especially at elevated sites like Mount Nebo

Not bad but not great, the huge chamber full of stalactites we like but cool 14 degrees down there only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Samir had so many stories and squeezing through the narrow bit was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and cool 14 degrees down there, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question, tbh

our guide Dmitri was brilliant and the huge chamber full of stalactites was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and a good hour underground, and a good hour underground. Would book again no question.
