An historical site with stunning views.

My suggestion

Cover your head - it's very hot and there's little shade.

In the footsteps of Moses: Mount Nebo!

My suggestion

If possible, choose a day when the sky is clear to make the most of the panoramic view.

I recommend that you visit Mount Nebo in the morning. The light is ideal to make the best of the view.
