al-Mukhayyat

Khirbet al-Mukhayyat is the location of ancient Nebo, famous for its view of the Jordan Valley and the death of Moses. Because of its association with the death of Moses, the site became an prominent pilgrim site during the Byzantine period. In the town of Nebo itself, largely unexcavated, four Byzantine period churches have been discovered, three of which are presented in the Virtual World Project. Unfortunately, the elaborate mosaics that decorated each of the churches have been removed and are thus no longer visible, but the churches themselves are worth the visit. Come and take a look.
