Admire the famous 6th century mosaic map of the Middle East, which decorates the floor of this famous church. Our day continues as we travel to Mt Nebo, the site where Moses first gazed over the Holy Land. Enjoy the same panoramic views that stretch as far as Jericho, the Dead Sea and the Jordan River Valley.

We begin with a walk through the valley and then climb the mountain trail to Ras Wadi Nekheel. From here, we’ll marvel at the breathtaking views of the mountains and the sprawling desert below.

Our final day of trekking begins with a walk to Siq al Barid (Little Petra). This lesser known site is thought to have been an important agricultural centre and supply post for travellers to Petra. The scenery changes as we walk, from rocky mountains to rolling sandstone hills. Enter Little Petra through a narrow opening, similar to the famous Siq of Petra itself, but smaller. After our visit, we continue to Beidha - one of the earliest examples of permanent human settlement in existence.
