Private Full-Day Tour of Madaba, Mt Nebo and Citadel with Roman Theater from The Dead Sea

Dead Sea, Jordan

Tackle three prominent sites of Jordan on a private tour from Dead Sea hotels: the Citadel, Mt. Nebo, and Madaba. With a private driver and commentary from a local guide at each site, you’ll explore the Roman Temple of Hercules and the Jordan Archaeological Museum before seeing the mosaics of St. George Orthodox Church along with views of Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.

Get picked up from your hotel in the Dead Sea region by your private driver and depart for the Amman Citadel. Here, meet a guide and venture into the archaeological ruins of this ancient center to explore its museum, the Jordan Archaeological Museum, and the Roman Temple of Hercules. In Amman, you'll also visit the Roman Theater, a 2nd-century Roman theater, and the Museum of Popular Traditions, which is located next door.

Next, continue on to the nearby city of Madaba, known for its mosaics. The most popular and renowned example is the 6th-century mosaic map of Jordan and the Holy Land, located inside St. George Orthodox Church. Learn about its history from an on-site guide and see how the map is marked with points of interest related to Biblical stories.

After your visit, climb up Mt. Nebo, where the prophet Moses is said to have died. In the company of a local guide, you'll soak up the view of the Holy Land and the Jordan Valley all the way to the Dead Sea. You’ll also get a look at the mosaics found inside the church of Mt. Nebo before your private driver drops you back at your Dead Sea hotel.
