Another birthday, another “excuse” to cash in frequent flyer miles and take a final Middle Eastern adventure. This time, to nearby Jordan for the weekend!
Our first port of call was Madaba, a historic city with some Christian heritage, to be followed by relaxation at the Dead Sea and trekking in Petra.
Not a bad way to mark another year…
Happy birthday to me – a weekend in Jordan to look forward to!
First stop was the Greek Orthodox Church in Madaba
We checked out the mosaic that’s nearly 1500 years old
Next up was Mt Nebo, where Moses was reported to have died
The memorial stone makes it official – we were there!
A modern, yet rustic cross marked the Christian site
Perched above hundreds of miles of desert (and Holy Land)
That’s Israel in the background
Off in the distance was our next stop…the Dead Sea!
