Mount Nebo, Jordan
According to the final chapter of Deuteronomy, Mount Nebo is where the Hebrew prophet Moses beheld the promised land that God would give to the Jewish people. On a clear day you can see the Dead Sea, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the River Jordan, Jericho and the Mount of Olives. The remains of a 4th century monastery were discovered on this windy peak in western Jordan in 1933, and the church features an impressive collection of ancient mosaics. Photo: charles fred
