We also have a look at Elijah's Hill, where Prophet Elijah ascended to heaven. Proceed to Mt. Nebo, the place where Prophet Moses gazed at the Promised Land before he died. You visit the old monastery and overlook the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea and parts of the Holy Land. Then to Madaba, where to find the famous mosaic 6th century map of Palestine in St. George’s church. Continue to Machaerus, the hilltop stronghold of Herod the Great, King of Judea. His son Herod Antipas inherited the fortress.
