Go south from Jordan's capital Amman, in the desert between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, you will find the roseal Petra, an important trade hub its rock-cut architectures and ingenious water system.

Visit Madaba, the City of Mosaics and the City of Christianity, for its imposing Greek Orthodox ruins, churches and beautiful Mosaics. The Mosaic Map in St. George Church showing the original view of the Holy Land in existence is what you can't miss. Afterward, proceed to Mt. Nebo, where you will enjoy panoramic views of the Promised Land as Moses did and even able to see Jerusalem if on a pretty clear day. After descending from the mountain and before heading to Petra, stop at a handicraft shop to get more understanding of Jordanian mosaic art with the Byzantine influence.

After that, you will have some time to do further exploration on your own before meeting your driver for the return journey to Amman.
