The Mountain of Nebo – Jordan Dead Sea Day Tour

Mount Nebo was inhabited since remote antiquity. However, it’s real fame derived from the biblical event that occurred upon it as described in the Book of Deuteronomy 34: the death of Prophet Moses, who climbed this holy mountain at the end of his life to see the promised land:

“Then Moses went up from the lowlands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, eastwards from Jericho. And the Lord showed him the whole land…There in the land of Moab Moses the servant of the lord died, as the lord had said .He was buried in a valley in Moab opposite Beth-Peor ; but to this day no one knows his burial –place”

Mount Nebo rises from the Trans Jordanian plateau 7 km(4 miles) west of the city of Madaba . It is bounded on the east by the Wadi Afrit, on the north by the Wadi “Uyun Musa, on the south by the Wadi al-Judaydah which extends into the Wadi al-Kanisah .Mount Nebo’s highest crest reaches an altitude of 800 m above sea level. The other peaks are lightly lower. Of these, the two most historically important are the western peak of Siyagha with the al-Mukhayyat, identified with the Town of Nebo

In 1932 the Custody of the Terra Sancta succeeded in purchasing the spur of Siyagha and that of al-Mukhayyat

The Mosaic Floors - Jordan Dead Sea Day Tour

After 60 years of work ,the best result of the Franciscan work in the mountain is the wealth of mosaic floors discovered .On mount Nebo , in the sanctuary of Moses and the surrounding monastic buildings atop Siyagha, in the churches of the village of Khirbat Al-Mukhayyat ,and the valleys of “Uyun Musa and “Ayn Al-Kanisah ,there have been preserved a concentration of mosaic works which are fundamental to understanding the development of Byzantine –Umayyad mosaic art in the territory of Madaba from the IVth to the second half of the VIIIth  century .

These are a precious archive for the history of the Christian community of the diocese of Madaba and of the monastic presence on the mountain.

The name of 8 mosaicists who worked in the sanctuary of Moses, in the village and in the valleys, add another worthwhile detail to this rich historic-artistic documentation.

The Monastic presence on Mount Nebo - Jordan Dead Sea Day Tour

We owe the first testimony for the presence of colony of monks on Mount Nebo to the pilgrim Egeria. She related her encounter with the ascetic monks who lived in cells close to the Spring of Moses in the “Uyun Musa valley.

Chronologically, the monastic presence extends from the second half of the Fourth century to the Ninth-Tenth century. The inscriptions attest the different forms of monastic life experienced on the mountain ranging from the coenobitic life in the major monastery at Siyagha to the more rigid ascetic lives as attested by the inscriptions brought to light in the small Theotokos monastery in the Wadi “Ayn al-Kanisah .

The Greek inscription with the four Rivers of Paradise in the corners (Ghion, Fison, Tigers and Euphrates) reads: “By the providence of God this venerable monastery of the holy Mother of God was rebuilt , in the days of Job , bishop of Madaba ,and of George the recluse , for the preservation of all the benefactors, in diction 15, year 6270 (762 A.D).
