5:15 AM LOCAL TIMEPerched at around 800–860 meters above sea level, Mount Nebo is a legendary pilgrimage site and regional lookout in northwestern Jordan. From its summit, visitors gaze across the Jordan River into the West Bank and beyond — on clear days, the skyline includes Jericho and the distant hills of Jerusalem. At the site, a surviving 6th-century mosaic floor and a modern memorial chapel commemorate Moses, linking religious legends with archaeological remains. The surrounding national park offers trails, interpretive displays, and facilities for sunrise vistas, photography, and cultural reflection.
