Madaba

Madaba, often called the “City of Mosaics,” is a charming town located just south of Amman. It is most famous for its ancient mosaics, particularly the Madaba Map, a 6th-century mosaic depicting the Holy Land, located in St. George’s Church. This map is one of the oldest and most detailed surviving depictions of Jerusalem and surrounding regions. Aside from its mosaics, Madaba offers a pleasant atmosphere with local markets, traditional crafts, and beautiful views of the Jordanian countryside. It’s a perfect destination for history enthusiasts, art lovers, and those seeking a peaceful, authentic experience.
