MukawirAn hour's drive along the picturesque "Road of Kings" from Madaba is Mukavir, the fortress of Herod the Great. It was here that he gave the order to decapitate John the Baptist at the request of Salome - as a reward for the dance she performed.
Here Jesus was baptized, here Moses saw the Promised Land, here he has died. Visiting the world's shrines, Jordan has the opportunity to stop time, sitting on the shore of the Red Sea or the Dead Sea, breathing in clean, iodine-smelling air, and think seriously about the eternal. About 20 thousand cultural monuments with roots from different centuries are in Jordan and attract people from all over the world who dream to see how biblical legends take on real contours in their eyes.
30 km from the city of Amman, the capital of Jordan, is located the ancient city of Madaba with partially surviving fragments of roads and buildings, countless mosaics that adorn it for thousands of years. Just next to Madaba is another sacred biblical place - Mount Nebo, from where the prophet Moses saw the Promised Land, and here he was buried.
Not far from Amman is the most iconic landmark of the country - the city of Petra, the capital of the ancient Nabataean kingdom, recently ranked among the Wonders of the World. At 900 meters above the sea level, the city-fortress, carved in the rock, the history of which totals four millennia, rises above the sea level. Petra still keeps ancient halls and amphitheatres, temples and houses, winding cobbled streets and steep staircases from the most ancient times.
The ancient city of Jerash, one of the Roman cities, enjoys no less popular among tourists, which is the best preserved for today its original appearance: however, it is possible to "thank" for this an earthquake that buried its structures under a sand blanket.
One of the greatest natural monuments of Jordan is the Wadi Rum desert. On its expanses, as if there is no time or space, like another galaxy, where the wind and the sun for centuries are building a unique world, and man only leaves in it ghostly tracks in the form of rock art. An amazing, nature-created world of sand and stone, faceted rocks, deep canyons and wells, graceful arches - all this contributed to the fact that Wadi Rum became part of UNESCO's World Heritage.
