“Madaba mosaics, lovely Mt Nebo & memorable Baptism site - Madaba is a pretty & walkable little town. Whilst the mosaic map in St George’s church was impressive, there were quite a lot of people in the small church. Mt. Nebo was an absolute highlight. The baptism site was incredibly hot and the flies were a menace! It was like in 2 parts: steps leading to the small puddle of water where the tour guide said those who had arranged to could dip their crosses and then a walk to the River Jordan itself.” - Reviewed on 2022-06-08
