“A very fun and full day. My siblings and I went from Madaba to grab a great falafel breakfast and see the Orthodox Church. Then to Mt. Nebo to see a church Moses visited. Then to the Mosaic museum where we saw handmade mosaics and purchased our favorite souvenirs. Then to Jesus baptismal site at the Jordan River was a surreal experience. Ending the day with the Dead Sea to witness the salty water and the exfoliating mud while having the chance to relax by the pool. Was comfortable and easy. Our driver Saadeh, was timely and gave us great advice for each location!Read more”
