Following breakfast and check-out, you will embark on a journey to Madaba, a city celebrated for its remarkable Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. Your exploration of this historic city includes visits to the Mimar Institute of Mosaic Art and Restoration, followed by a charming walking tour along Artisan Street. You'll discover the Archaeological Park, home to several Byzantine churches, ancient Roman road remnants, and the historic Martyr's Church. A highlight of your visit will be the Saint George Church, housing its famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land. Your cultural immersion continues at the Madaba Museum, an intimate collection housed within traditional heritage buildings connected by a picturesque courtyard, and the 19th-century John the Baptist Church, where you can explore fascinating subterranean chambers and ongoing excavations. The day's experience culminates in a hands-on, one-hour mosaic art workshop at the Mosaic School, where you'll gain firsthand insight into this ancient craft. Next, take a 15-minute drive to Mount Nebo, the mountaintop memorial of Moses, offering captivating views of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and the River Jordan. According to the Bible, this is where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land that he would never enter. Proceed to Petra for check-in at your hotel. At 6:15 PM, immerse yourself in a Petra Kitchen cooking class. After dinner return to your hotel for overnight.
