ROCS Bespoke Journeys - Sacred Jordan 2026

DAY 4 MT. NEBO – MADABA – SHOBAK CASTLE After breakfast and check-out from the Amman hotel, you will start the tour to Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have viewed the Promised Land before his death. From a platform in front of the church, you can enjoy a breathtaking view across the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. You will then drive approximately 15 minutes to Madaba, known as “The City of Mosaics”, a typical East Bank town where almost every house sits atop a fine Byzantine mosaic. Many of these mosaics have been excavated and are on display in the town’s museum, while countless others remain hidden, awaiting discovery. Next, you will visit Shobak Castle (Mons Realis, or the Royal Mountain), built in 1115 by Baldwin I of Jerusalem during his campaign in the area, including the capture of Aqaba in 1116. Strategically perched on a hill on the plain of Edom, the castle oversaw pilgrimage and caravan routes from Syria to Arabia. The day concludes with your arrival at the Nabatean city of Petra, where you will check in at the 5* Petra Mövenpick Hotel & Resort for dinner and overnight stay.
