About this activity
Discover three of Jordan's most culturally significant sites in a single private day tour: the intricate Byzantine mosaics of Madaba, the panoramic mountain sanctuary of Mount Nebo, and Amman's layered blend of Roman ruins and modern landmarks. This 8-hour journey offers deep immersion into the region's religious heritage and ancient history with a dedicated private driver and air-conditioned transport.
Explore Madaba, Mount Nebo, and Amman all in one fascinating private trip. With a knowledgeable private driver, travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Madaba to see the Madaba Mosaic Map, a 6th-century church floor mosaic depicting the Holy Land, and other regions in rich detail found in Saint George Orthodox Church; besides other mosaics at Madaba’s Archeological Park, as well as visit Saint John Church. Then, admire the sweeping views and beautiful church mosaics of Mount Nebo, where Moses is believed to have been shown the Holy Land as his last stop. Finish with a tour of top Amman attractions including the Citadel, and the stunning Roman Amphitheater, built in the 2nd century B.C.; as well as ancient Jabal Al – Webdeih and Jabal Amman Quarters. Finish with the visit of modern city of Amman.

Insider tips

- ★Ask your private driver to stop at a local Jordanian restaurant in Madaba for lunch—family-run spots offer authentic mezze and fresh bread unavailable to tour groups
