Activity itinerary

St. George's Church

1h
Admission ticket not included

First, stop at Madaba city, often called the ‘City of Mosaics’. Madaba owes its popularity to a lavish mosaic map of the Holy Land that covers the floor of St George’s Church, and you'll step inside the church to see it. This relatively modest 19th-century Greek Orthodox church houses a treasure of early Christianity. Imagine the excitement in 1884 when Christian builders came across the remnants of a Byzantine church on their construction site. Among the rubble, having survived wilful destruction, fire, and neglect, the flooring they discovered wasn’t just another mosaic but one with extraordinary significance: to this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region.

St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church

1h

The museum is currently undertaking a project that aims to create the world's largest mosaic, measuring 30 metres in length and comprising 3.5 million pieces. The mosaic will depict the entire route of the King’s Highway, and visitors can take part in the project by placing a piece into the mosaic. The museum also offers a variety of workshops for visitors of all ages.
