Madaba MapIn the late 19th century, many mosaics were uncovered throughout Madaba. The most famous of these is the Madaba Map, a highly valuable 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land. It can be seen in the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. George.

Mount NeboThis mountain overlooking Madaba has long been identified as Mt. Nebo, the mountain from which Moses saw the Promised Land before he died. This has been an important place of Christian pilgrimage for over 1,600 years. Splendid Byzantine mosaics from the early church have recently been uncovered, and a simple modern church has been built over them. Just as in Moses' time, there are splendid views of the "Promised Land" from here.
