Mount Nebo

1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, 2all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, 3the Negeb, and the Plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4And the LORD said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your offspring. I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there." Deuteronomy 34:1-4

After seeing the beautiful mosaics, we went to Mount Nebo. It is believed that this is the place in Exodus where God took Moses to show him the Promised Land, even though he would never be allowed to enter it. From here you can see the Dead Sea, Jericho, and Jerusalem and few other places.
