From Jordan Valley, the lowest point of earth, we start climbing up heading east to Madaba.
There is supposed to be a very significant church in Madaba but as we are short of time, we skipped the church and head to Mount Nebo. 
When we stand at the summit of Mount Nebo at 817 metres above sea level, we can see the panoramic view of Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Jericho and Jerusalem which is referred to as the 'Promised Land' as Moses see it. This is the biblical spot where Moses last stand to look at the promised land where he is supposed to led the Israelites for 40 years in the desert to reach. We all know he did not make it to the promised land and instead die at this very place. 
To honour this man of God, a serpentine cross was placed at the summit, It is a symbolic of the brass serpent created by Moses in the wilderness (Numbers 21:4-9) and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified (John 3:14).
In Mount Nebo there is also a church that was constructed in the second half of the 4th century to commemorate the place of Moses' death. While I was there, it was closed to public.
There is a lot of mosaic found in this church, such as this one. It was inscripted in Greek which reads, 'for the salvation and offering of Matrona.'
I felt so overwhelmed here but yet very peaceful.
