Driving along the King’s Highway, visit the mosaic city of Madaba, home to the Church of St. George, which houses the oldest map of the Holy Land on its floor. The city itself boasts many famous mosaics, both in public and private buildings. Continue to Mount Nebo, the believed burial site of Moses, overlooking the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. Here, the Franciscans built a structure to protect a Byzantine church dating back to the 4th and 6th centuries. Lunch in a local restaurant. Afterwards, visit Shobak Castle, built in 1115 as the first of many fortresses constructed beyond the Jordan River by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem to control the road from Egypt to Damascus. It successfully withstood numerous attacks before falling to Saladin’s troops in 1189. Dinner and overnight stay in Petra.
Full-day visit of Petra, the city carved into the rose-red rocks of the Sharah Mountains by the Nabataeans. Rediscovered after centuries by the Swiss explorer Burckhardt, Petra is reached by walking through the Siq, a narrow and winding gorge, which opens onto the Treasury.

Just a 15-minute drive from Petra lies Little Petra, where you will enjoy a pleasant walk through this Siq, once a Nabataean trading hub.
