Essence of Madaba

Many visitors to Madaba come for this delicate mosaic map. Even for those with little interest or knowledge in biblical stories, the colourful, centuries-old map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land is impressive. Come at around noontime to avoid the tour groups.

Kind people and a Famous Mosaic Map

A quiet oasis within the precincts of the church. The Medaba Map does not disappoint, and is well cared for, thankfully. There is a good shop in which are some excellent books. This floor is world famous and it was a privilege to see it.

Worth short visit

Located inside a church, early Christian mosaics on the ground, excavated and well preserved, not too big though. Tickets required.

Extraordinary map

The mosaic map at St. Georges is a truly wonderful relic of Byzantine times. Constructed in the sixth century it was a valuable aid to the ancients understanding of the world. Well worth a look, better still if you have a guide.
