The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, was built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather. It is octagonal and distinguished for not having pillars inside.
A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome’s neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern.
Al-Maghtas, meaning “baptism” or “immersion” in Arabic, is an archaeological World Heritage site in Jordan on the east bank of the Jordan River, officially known as Baptism Site “Bethany Beyond the Jordan”
The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. All of whom have luxuriated in the Dead Sea’s rich, black, stimulating mud and floated effortlessly on their backs while soaking up the water’s healthy minerals along with the gently diffused rays of the Jordanian sun.
Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge in Jordan, approximately 817 metres (2,680 ft) above sea level, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the Holy Land and, to the north, a more limited one of the valley of the River Jordan. The West Bank city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day.
Madaba’s well-kept gem, and the reason for tourists to stop by in the city, at least for a while.
Inside the church, on the floor, you can admire a large Byzantine mosaic which, to this date, is the oldest map of Palestine, but it also shows other places such as Jerusalem, Gaza, Dead Sea or Nile Delta.
The mosaic map is very remarkable, although it can be quite hard to understand the meaning of it and recognize all the places.
Some careful restoration and excavation in the early 1990s led to the creation of this open-air museum, which houses a collection of ruins and fine mosaics from the Madaba area.
