Abstract

The program is about the city of Madaba with its wonderful mosaics dating back to the sixth century. During the Byzantine period, Madaba reached the top of prosperity. With its buildings and worship houses, it was considered as a Byzantine ecclesiastic center. Mount Nebo is ten kilometers west of Madaba, it overlooks the Dead Sea, The Jordan valley, Betlehem and El Qods. On one of the Mount Nebo peaks, a Byzantine monastry was built by monks from Egypt, on bases considered to have belonged to an ancient church.
