Mount Nebo
Mount Nebo is a 1,000 meter (3,300 feet) high mountain located 10 km northwest of Madaba, Jordan.
It is believed that this is the mountain from which Moses saw the Promised Land before he died.
Mount Nebo's first church was constructed in the 2nd half of the 4th century to commemorate the place of Moses' death.
It had three apses and was preceded by a vestibule paved with plain white mosaic; two funeral chapels stood to the north
and south of the lateral apses.
About 1 km east of Mount Nebo, you can see the spring of Moses, mentioned by Egeria, Peter the Iberian, and Theodosius.
In the springtime, this area is dotted by Eucalyptus trees, which grow close to two churches built in the 6th century,
with enchanting mosaics: the churches of Deacon Thomas and Kayanos which were adorned with another mosaic pavement in
the seventh Century. The churches were destroyed by a powerful earthquake which hit the region in AD 749.
