Jord pass is not valid, entrance fee is 3 Jord. It is the first place where Prophet Moses saw the Holy Land. There was too much wind when we went. There is also a church inside Mount Nebo. The church contains the most beautiful mosaics in Jordan. There is an observation terrace.

It is good in advance to inform yourself more about the history of this biblical place in order to feel its significance for Christians. The modern visitor center is impressive, against the background of the ancient churches and monuments around. The view around in good weather is unforgettable.
