The Interior of the Basilica of St. George that contains the map in Madaba. Madaba is a moderately-sized city in Jordan located 25km southwest of Amman. Madaba recently became known as "the City of the Mosaics" for the many mosaics that have been uncovered throughout the city. The most famous of these mosaics is the Madaba Map, a 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land.

With two million pieces of colored stone dated from the sixth century the map depicts hills and valleys, villages and towns in Palestine and the Nile Delta. The mosaic contains the earliest extant representation of Jerusalem, lapeled the "Holy City." The map provides important details as to its 6th century landmarks and is a major key in developing scholarly knowledge about the physical layout of Jerusalem after its destruction and rebuilding in AD 70.

According to Jewish and Christian tradition, Moses was buried on this mountain by God himself, and his final resting place is unknown. Scholars continue to dispute whether the mountain currently known as Nebo is the same as the mountain referred to in the Torah.

The Tressuary was originally built as a royal tomb, probably between 100 BC and 200 AD it is one of the most elaborate buildings in the ancient Jordanian city of Petra. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, the structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face. It has classical Roman-influenced architecture, and it is a popular tourist attraction.

Entrance to Petra through the narrow Siq it is the main entrance to the ancient city of Petra.

The narrow gorge (in some points no more than 3 meters wide) winds its way approximately one mile and ends at Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (The Treasury).

Wadi Rum is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southwest Jordan. It is the largest wadi in Jordan. The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning 'high' or 'elevated'.

Situated on a broad promontory 378 meters above sea level, this town was known as Gadara, one of the ancient Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis.
