Mount Nebo Travel Blogs

  Next stop was Mount Nebo. This is the place where, according to legend, Moses died at the age of 120, after God showed him the promised land. For long it has been disputed whether or not this was truly the place where Moses had died (historical evidence is somewhat vague on most biblical f…

My first trip with Exodus.co.uk

I really did not know what to expect visiting Mount Nebo, the area where Moses went to look down on the Promised Land.  I am not a religious person but at the same time find fascination with religions.  Whatever gets you through life as long as you are not hurting anyone else is fine by m…

From Amsterdam to Amman and by bus to the south to Aqaba. Back my national plain from Aqaba to Amman and a flight to Amsterdam. Most beautifull sights are for me Wadi Rum desert and Petra. Stunning ! (in Progress!)

After leaving the Dead Sea, we told our driver that we wanted to go to Jebel Nebo (Mount Nebo is Arabic), and he seemed to understand perfectly!  He even repeated it...Jebel Nebo!  Praise Jesus, we knew where we were going at last...or so we thought.  We ended up driving back and for…

A few miles outside of Madaba is Mount Nebo, the famed location where Moses looked upon the Promised Land before he died.  The area is run by the Franciscans, and is currently under re-construction in many areas.  The main look-out provides sweeping views of Western Jordan, the River Jord…

Petra, Wadi Rum and more

The next morning we took the King's Highway to Petra. Also a tip: don't go straight to Petra, visit little places when you go through Petra. Our first stop was a visit to Mount Nebo. It is about one hour's drive from Amman. Mount Nebo is the place were, according to the Bible, Mozes saw the promise…

10 days with 45 archeology enthusiasts and two nice guides (a bedouin and a syrian) riding a bus across the two countries. Fascinating places, ruins, people and nature. Good food, but a quarter of our group caught the usual gastroenteric problems. Very nice weather except a sandstorm in Palmyra. We admired the signs of ancient civilizations and Roman Empire, and we were able to experience a Turkish Bath (same as Roman Thermae...) great! highly recommened!

Europe, North, Central and South America, Middle East, Asia and North of Africa (1998/2008)

Middle East-The land of neverending conflict, struggle and dispute.Three weeks of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon,Jordan and Sinai, Egypt. This is where epic cities of antiquity rub shoulders and architectural aspiration.Prior to that pre-backpacking to Toscana Italia, summer 2009 will long be remembered. Predominantly an Islamic region,it is one of the most misunderstood region and religion in the world.
