3Mount Nebo
Mount Nebo is steeped in religious significance as it is believed to be the place that Moses stood on to view the sacred Promised Land before his death. According to the Book of Deuteronomy Moses died on Mount Nebo and was buried in Moab. In the fourth century, a small monastery was built by Egyptian monks on the mountain peak in memory of Moses. This church was then reconstructed in the fifth century into a basilica. The basilica still stands on Mount Nebo today and contains a fascinating collection of Byzantine mosaics.

4Bethany Jordan River Baptism Site of Jesus
The archaeological site on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, about 9 km north of the Dead Sea, is of immense importance to Christianity because it is recognized as the place where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. For a long time, there have been disputes about whether this key event could have taken place on the western or eastern side of the Jordan River, but analyses of biblical and historical sources, as well as archaeological research, support the location of the site in what is now Jordan. This has also been confirmed and honored by the visit of three popes and the statements of high church dignitaries.
