Drawing visitors for its mosaics and maps – and for the biblical Mount Nebo next door – Madaba is a city that is as gorgeous as it is surprising.
And with our Mount Nebo and Madaba day tour, you’ll see the classic sights for which the city’s known and much much more besides. You’ll pass through archaeological sites, historic bookshops, mosaic masterpieces, and the legendary resting place of Moses – all while exploring one of Jordan’s most fascinating cities.
