Mount Nebo is 817 meters (2,680 feet) above sea level, and thus more than 1km (0.6 mi) above the neighboring Dead Sea. It is a site holy to both Christians and Jews: Moses is said to have died on or near the mountain some time after God had ...

Our tour driver Muneer was great. He was very informative, punctual and always asked us what we wish to do and was flexible to accommodate our requests. Thanks Muneer for making our tour interesting, pleasant and safe. Shoukran my friend.

Our driver arrived promtly at the hotrel and very friendly, spoke great English and provided details about the local area on the drive. The tour includes two stops to explore without guides but at Mount Nebo there are plenty of signs to provide detail. We also made a quick stop at the school where the art of mosiacs is taught. It was a great stop and we really enjoyed getting to see where this work is done. Great sights, but if your time is limited prioritize Petra and Jerash over this, though I recommend if you have a few days.

Sadly, only one of us was able to take this tour which made conversing with the guide quite difficult. He did seem to know what tourists wanted to see so that was good, but overall the tour content was a little disappointing.

Seeing Madaba and Mount Nebo was good but brief. The tour didn't represent good value for money. It was easily do-able from Amman by taxi, which would have cost a lot less.

If you manage to get Shaadi you will have a great day, we were also lucky with the weather that day but unfortunately Red sea was too choppy and windy to fully experience the floating experience. Also note that this is a local beach that they take you too, you will be surrounded by conservative locals, not the time to break out your bikini! The beach is not that great, the Israel side of the Red Sea is much prettier and do not expect to get free mud, you have to buy it! Madaba and Mount Nebo are nice to view the sights of Jordan with a Christian background but that's about it

Madaba and Mount Nebo was basic. The Dead Sea was the main attraction. I did not bring my bathing suit to Jordan but at the Dead Sea resort there were many available for a great price. The change lockers are great and very clean....remember to bring flip flops to wear.

You see many bits of the Holy Land on this trip and end up floating in the Dead Sea. Modaba is in particularly lovely Jordanian town so spend some time there!

Our driver was not the best tour guide, but Mount Nebo was definitely worth a stop, especially if you are thrilled, as I am, by the religious significance of its being where Moses first saw the promised land. Madaba was a bit of a yawn.

The driver picked us up on time. He was most pleasant and helpful. He let us choose how much time we wanted to spend in each location so long as the tour finished by the stated time. Unfortunately the Dead Sea beach club was quite dated and the facilities were poor. The food wasn't appealing either. However, a great tour if you want to see some of Jordan's key sites.

The church at Madaba with the mosaic map was incredible, as was the swimming in the Dead Sea. Awesome!!!

This was one of the best trips I have ever had. I travelled alone but enjoyed it a lot. Jordan is a great country and Jordanian hospitality is amazing.Before I left I read a lot about Jordan, culture, dress code and habits. I learnt some Arabic phrases and numbers which was much appreciated by Jordanians. I booked 2 trips with Viator and both were great! I saw a breath taking view from the top of Mount Nebo and enjoyed swimming in the Dead Sea. You cannot miss it! This is so much fun. What really made my day, was the driver who was a great companion through the whole tour, very professional, patient answering my questions and with a great attitude towards the tourists. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone. Remember that apart from Petra, there are other beautiful places in Jordan - the more you see, the better you get to know this country, its people and culture. Shukran thank you in Arabic to Viator and local travel agency.
