Biblical Sites
Several places in Jordan are linked to stories in the Bible. Here you’ll find Mount Nebo, where, according to Deuteronomy, Moses viewed the Promised Land; Moses Spring below it, traditionally linked to Moses; Machaerus, where John the Baptist was imprisoned and executed; Tell Mar Elias, traditionally associated with Elijah; Jesus Cave, traditionally associated with Jesus; and Tell el-Hammam in the Jordan Valley.
