• 1
  St. George's Church

  First, stop at Madaba city, often called the ‘City of Mosaics’. Madaba owes its popularity to a lavish mosaic map of the Holy Land that covers the floor of St George’s Church, which you can see when you step inside. This relatively modest 19th-century Greek Orthodox church houses a treasure of early Christianity. Imagine the excitement in 1884 when Christian builders came across the remnants of a Byzantine church on their construction site. Among the rubble, having survived willful destruction, fire, and neglect, the flooring they discovered wasn’t just another mosaic but one with extraordinary significance: to this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region.
