Places in Jordan - Madaba

Evidence has revealed that this place enjoyed importance during the Iron Age and continued through all the other ages until the Byzantine period, particularly during the time when mosaic art reached its peak in the sixth century AD.

Probably the most interesting artefact is the six-century mosaic map at Saint George's church in Madaba, which depicts three main areas (Jerusalem, Jordan, and Lower Egypt).

In fact Madaba contains many other famous sites like Nebo, Almukhaiat, Meckirus, Umm Errasas, among others.
