More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a landscape where history leans toward the horizon: the road from Amman eases you through olive-strewn hills into Madaba’s sun-washed streets, then climbs to Mount Nebo where the valley and distant coastline open like a map. The Dead Sea waits below, its still surface daring you to float without effort as the sun slides toward the west.

History
Madaba’s mosaic map dates to the 6th century and Mount Nebo is traditionally associated with Moses’ final view of the Promised Land; the Dead Sea holds biblical and geological significance as the lowest point on Earth.
Conservation
The Dead Sea is shrinking due to upstream water diversion and mineral extraction; minimize freshwater use, use biodegradable products, and pack out trash to reduce local impact.

Dress Modestly for Churches
Wear shoulders- and knees-covering clothing when visiting Saint George’s and Mount Nebo; bring a lightweight scarf for quick coverage.
Protect Your Skin
Use a high-SPF, biodegradable sunscreen and a wide-brim hat — shade is limited at Mount Nebo and Dead Sea beaches.
Rinse After Floating
Shower with fresh water after floating; the high salt content can irritate skin and ruin fabrics if left to dry.
Bring Cash for Small Purchases
Madaba’s mosaic workshops and local stalls are often cash-friendly; small bills make transactions easier.
Swimsuit
Required for floating; use a suit you don’t mind getting salt on.
