What's included in the tour?

Private vehicle with air-conditioned minivan, professional driver, and guided access to Madaba (Mosaic Map, Saint George Church, Saint John Church, Archaeological Park), Mount Nebo, and Amman's main sights (Citadel, Roman Amphitheater, historic quarters). Pick-up and drop-off from your location are included.

How much free time do I get?

The tour is designed with flexibility — your driver and guide work around your interests. You have time to explore independently at each site rather than being rushed through a set itinerary.

Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

The Citadel and Mount Nebo involve some uphill walking and uneven ground. The Mosaic Map and churches are more accessible. Discuss any mobility concerns when booking to arrange appropriate modifications.

What's special about the Madaba Mosaic Map?

It's a 6th-century floor mosaic in Saint George Orthodox Church depicting the Holy Land and surrounding regions in remarkable detail. It's one of the oldest surviving maps of the region and a UNESCO-recognized treasure.

Can I see the Dead Sea and Promised Land from Mount Nebo?

Yes — Mount Nebo offers sweeping views across the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea and the biblical Promised Land. The view is most dramatic in clear morning or late-afternoon light.

Lunch is not included, but your driver can recommend local restaurants. The tour allows flexibility to break for meals at your preferred time and place.
