After breakfast, we will drive along one of the oldest trade routes in the world, King’s Highway, to Madaba to view some of the finest examples of Byzantine mosaics. View the 6th century mosaic Map of Jerusalem, possibly the oldest map of the Holy City in existence. Continue to Mount Nebo, highest point in the Moabite mountain range, offering a remarkable view of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and the spires of Jerusalem. Tradition holds that Moses viewed “the Promised Land” from this peak. Then we will drive to the site believed to be the original place where John baptized Jesus. You will have the afternoon at leisure at your Dead Sea resort and perhaps the opportunity to float on the Dead Sea.
