Viaje de 8 días de Petra a El Cairo

First, we will have breakfast at the hotel. Then, we will go to a town called Madaba. In Madaba, there is a special church called St. George's church that has an old map made out of small tiles. This map shows what the land of Palestine looked like a long time ago. After that, we will go to a mountain called Mt. Nebo. This is a special place because it is where Prophet Moses looked at the land that was promised to his people before he passed away. Some people believe that he was buried there too.

You go to an old place where monks used to live. From there, you can see lots of amazing things like a big valley, a sea that is so salty that nothing can live in it, and some important places in a special area.

Today, during your trip to Jordan and Egypt, we will be going to a special place, Petra. It is a city that was built a long time ago by the Nabataean Arabs.
