Madaba was once a Moabite border city, mentioned in the Bible in Numbers 21:30 and Joshua 13:9. Control over the city changed back and forth between Israel and Moab, as mentioned in the Mesha Stele.

We visit the Saint George church, home of one of the most detailed Mosaic maps in the region dating from the 6th century. The mosaic contains the earliest extant representation of Byzantine Jerusalem, labeled the "Holy City." It also provides important details about its 6th-century landmarks, with the cardo, or central colonnaded street, and the church of the Holy Sepulcher clearly visible. This map is one key in developing scholarly knowledge about the physical layout of Jerusalem after its destruction and rebuilding in 70 AD.

Then we proceed to visit Mukawer, or Machaerus the hilltop stronghold of Herod the Great. Upon Herod’s death, his son Herod Antipas inherited the fortress and it is from here that he ordered John the Baptist to be beheaded after Salome’s fateful dance of the seven veils. We later proceed to the Valley of Moses (Petra) for dinner and overnight.

The name Valley of Moses (Wadi Mousa) comes from the story that Moses passed through the valley and struck water from the rock for his followers at the site of Ain Musa ("Moses Spring" or "Moses' Well"). The Nabateans built channels that carried water from this spring to the city of Petra. then proceed towards Wadi Rum, after we arrive to Rum, we are in for a Bedouin specialty dinner: ZARB.

What’s that you may ask? Well, it’s a mix of meat like lamb and chicken, rice, potatoes and carrots, placed in a hole in the ground, which is filled with flaming coals. The hole is then covered, and after a few hours, the meat and rice are all smoked, steamed, and grilled, all at the same time! Overnight in Wadi Rum.

After breakfast, we will be taking our jeeps to explore the spectacular desert landscapes and large megaliths of Wadi Rum, this Martian like terrain is the place for so many Hollywood movies these days, but in the past, although not mentioned in the Bible, the children of Israel came through this region in the Exodus.
