Memorial Church of Moses

Well worth the visit. Spectacular views, small church with mosaics, had an aura about it.

The Memorial Church of Moses is very beautiful and peaceful. The views are really nice. I initially didn’t had much expectations on this place but it changed after visiting this place. If you do have time I highly recommend this place, it gives fantastic views and gives a very refresh feeling. You have to buy the ticket because Jordan Pass won’t cover. The arts are fantastic here, very clean maintained rest rooms.

Great efforts to preserve the site. Very well cared for. Amazing to be in the same spot that Moses was at

Visiting such a historic religious site did run shivers down my spine, reminding me more about my religion.

Pretty impressive structure overlooking the promised land as seen by Moses. The path from the parking lot takes up up the hill past various structures to the mountain top overlooking the magnificent land below.

I went there with a group tour and tickets are required when we enter the Mt Nebo site. The church is on the top of Mount Nebo and the view from the neighbourhood is gorgeous. We can see Israel cities, like Jericho, from there. The church itself is very quiet and has terrific mosaics inside. I felt the inner peace when I walked around in it and feel like reading some relevant chapters in the Bible when I return home. It is a must-see and definitely worths a visit.

The memorial of Moses is a very nice place. The mosaics are impressive and very well preserved. The ones on the ground were preserved as they were buried underneath the ones that are now on the walls. The memorial is really well done and the explanations provide good understanding of the different phases the site went through. The site has all the require amenities (toilet, a shop offering espresso, gifts, chocolate bars and various drinks)

A very fine site to visit. In a amazing condition. Also live services throw out the day so if wish to pray you can.
The view across to Dead Sea is fantastic

This location is magical, like feeling the biblical energy and significance of this location is a different kind of feeling. It’s an experience of its own. It’s a sure location to add to your list on your trip to Jordan. Purely magical and beautifully amazing!

Well worth the visit, even if just for the view. Beautiful vistas in all directions! Lovely historic church with restored and preserved mosaics.

I really liked the place. I am a Muslim and really felt the chevering in my body when reading through the memorial. It where God showed Moses the promised land. Really nice people there and the place is very well arranged. A must visit place. Recommended.

The view is Magnificent. The beautifully preserved mosaic is amazing. Its a religious and historical site. A must see when you visit jordan

Beautiful experience, visiting the place from which Moses saw the promised land, and where he was buried. It is great location with sunning views (even though mist obscured the far distance), well preserved, respectfully presented archaeology and an informative little museum.

The most marvellous place in the history of mankind. Right on top from where Moses saw the promised land. A breath taking view where you can see Jericho and the dead sea. The rod of Moses stands tall on the right side to the church. The path to the memorial church is amazing. Inside the church Byzantine mosaics are well preserved and awesome to see. It's serene and peaceful meditative atmosphere. The structure has a blend of ancient and modern architecture. A must visit place in Jordan.

Although, traditionally it is believed to be the burial site of Moses according to some traditions, there is another grave that is also said to be that of Musa (Moses) 11km south of Jericho.

The modern building of Moses' Memorial Church atop Mount Nebo, in Khirbet al-Mukhayyat. It houses some of the best (and best presented) mosaics in Jordan, dating from around 530 CE. The church is part of a functioning monastery, and there's a small but fascinating museum presenting the history of the site.

The church is first mentioned in an account of a pilgrimage made by a lady Aetheria (Egeria), circa 390 CE.

Incredible opportunity to see prophet Moses
Memorial Church holds a commanding position at the top of Mount Nebo. It was here that God showed Moses the Promised Land.

I loved the peace and calm vibes of such spot ... simple route till the christological symbol beside the basillica ....you enjoy a breath taking panoramic of the holy land , many nationalities come from all over the world to this spot, am a proud jordaian that i live close to such global chistian symbol .... i did put a coin in the box inside the basillica which am alwyas fascinated by the mosiac artistic in the whole area .... #godbless

Situated on mount nebo, a masterpeice of craftsmanship of the 5th century. Very well preserved. Marvellous work of art in form of mosaics which are excellently preseved and displayed. Persons with interest in ancient architecture must visit this place to witness some of the earliest peices of mosaics.

This place is in Madaba. It isn't really far from Amman. Around half an hour by car from the center of the city. The church and the whole place is more than amazing!! It is breathtaking, very peaceful. You can see the dead sea from there, as well as you can see Palestine too. I highly recommend that everyone should visit the memorial church of Moses whenever they visit Jordan ❤

Very historical with lots of artifacts behind it. The views from Citadel Amman is beautiful overlooking Amman City in 360degree.
