Madaba is an ancient city in west-central Jordan, about 30 kilometers south of the capital Amman, located in the historical hinterland of the Moabites and known as the "City of Mosaics". With a history of more than 3,000 years, the city is known as the place where Moses drew water, as recorded in the Bible, and was an important religious center during the Byzantine period. The city's most famous church, St. George's, houses the world's oldest surviving mosaic map of the Holy Land - a 6th century Byzantine map depicting Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and other areas - a treasure of medieval geographical art. Walking through Midbar, the Roman period colonnade, early Christian church ruins and Ottoman traditional houses are intertwined, strolling along the stone road of the ancient city, touching the millennium mosaic with your fingertips, as if you have traveled through time and space, and feeling the thickness and tolerance of Jordanian civilization.
