Classic place where dozens of buses continuously arrive, unloading hundreds of tourists at the same time, with the result that a place that should be sacred becomes an incredible bedlam. With all those people it is impossible to see everything clearly and savor the original spirit of the place. Maybe that's why it didn't particularly impress me. Of course, the view of the Promised Land touches you for its symbolic charge, but from a landscape point of view you can see much more fascinating views simply by driving on the roads that connect the places of interest, especially on the Kingsroad. But I believe that Mount Nebo is a must on a trip to Jordan, even if just for a half hour stop. Maybe better at strategic times, for example very early or very late. It only costs 2 JD to enter, but I just don't understand why all the Jewish visiting places don't join the Jordan Pass.

After visiting Madaba, we went to Mount Nebo, which is part of the Abarim mountain range. This location is mentioned in the Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the West Bank across the Jordan River valley. The city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day. According to the Bible (Deuteronomy), Moses ascended Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab (today in Jordan), and from there he saw the Land of Canaan (the Promised Land), which God had said he would not enter; Moses then died there. Mount Nebo is also mentioned in the Bible when the prophet Jeremiah hid the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant in a cave there. A serpentine cross sculpture atop Mount Nebo was created by Italian artist Gian Paolo Fantoni. It is symbolic of the miracle of the bronze serpent invoked by Moses in the wilderness and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.

I was surprised by how beautiful this spot is. The church is not much to look at from the outside, but the mosaics inside are beautiful. And to stand on the spot where Moses was shown the promised land is amazing. The views over the Jordan valley are amazing. Definitely worth the trip.

Beautiful site. Nice spot to overlook the Holy Land. Unfortunately we went on an overcast day but it was still a very nice view. There are various sculptures outdoors & olive trees, a lovely setting. The inside of the church is very beautiful, there are several large mosaics some of which are displayed on the walls. The lighting in the church is very good so one can appreciate the beauty of the mosaics,I enjoyed the mosaics here more than the ones in Madaba where the sites have poor lighting.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. It has a beautiful view over the Jordan Valley to Jerusalem and also exudes a certain spirituality. In addition to the supposed tomb of Moses, there is also the olive tree planted by John Paul II during his pilgrimage. Unfortunately the reconstruction done by the Franciscans is terribly modern and somewhat disfigures its charm. Entry not cheap for 3 Jod (not included in the jordan pass)

Memorial to Moses, the biblical character known for having received the tablets of the law from God on another mountain, in Sinai. However, this mountain is also associated with his figure because it would seem that from here he was able to see the entire territory of Israel, "the Promised Land", before dying. In fact, the view that can be enjoyed from this mountain is truly remarkable and on some particularly clear days you can see as far as Jerusalem (about 50 km), but the biblical event evidently has a supernatural dimension. Currently the entire mountain is looked after by the Franciscan friars who purchased the entire mountain at the beginning of the last century. The church on the summit plateau can be visited and is very interesting for the large number of Christian archaeological finds, such as mosaics, columns and various objects from the early Middle Ages, coming from all over the area.

Beautiful place to visit, place where Moses saw the promised land. With beautiful views of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. The mosaics found and restored in the chapel are worth admiring. You can also see part of what the Monastery was, everything dates back to the 6th century AD. Place rebuilt by the Franciscans and visited by Pope John Paul II.

This place is a promontory on the Jordan Valley, a place where Moses ended his life at 120 years old. A place very well highlighted by the Franciscans. A bronze cross at the belvedere level. Let us imagine here the fullness of the view of the time. Visible from the viewpoint: Amman, Dead Sea, Jericho, Jerusalem, Sea of Galilee.......

Mount Nebo was where Moses saw the Promised Land after wandering in the desert. The Franciscan monastery there has a Memorial to Moses. As you enter the site, you see "The Book of Love among Nations Monument", a sculpture by Vicenzo Bianchi, dedicated in 2000 to Pope John Paul II after his visit here. Continue walking until you get to the viewpoint. Admire the view that Moses saw. (It was a bit hazy on the day I visited so it was difficult to see Jerusalem.) Inside the Memorial of Moses are many beautiful mosaics. There is also a small museum.

I visited as a part of a group tour. Immediately on arrival I was struck by the peace - it's somewhere you can just sit and appreciate where you are. The views are fantastic and the mosaic inside the chapel impressive. If you are lucky you will see one of the Franciscan monks who look after the place. The loos were also the best I came across in Jordan!
