Located southwest of the capital city, Amman, in the heart of Jordan is Madaba, a unique blend of modern culture and ancient history. Known as the "City of Mosaics," it is a must-visit destination for tourists interested in religious history and archaeology, as it is home to a large number of Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. The most famous of these is the 'Madaba Map,' a detailed floor mosaic in the Saint George's Church, representing the oldest surviving original cartographic depiction of the Holy Land and particularly Jerusalem. Visitors also get charmed by its friendly local population, whose centuries-old traditions enhance the city's vibrant cultural landscape.
