Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Modern day shrine atop Siyagha, where Moses spent his last days. Mount Nebo, Jordan

Mount Nebo, known as Pisgah in the Bible. It is where the Bible says Moses lived out his remaining days and viewed the Promised Land which he would never enter. Mt. Nebo offers a fantastic view westward, with a vista that includes the Dead Sea,the West Bank, the Jordan River and on a clear day Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

There are actually two peaks on Mt. Nebo, Siyagha and al-Mukhayyat. During the 6th century AD, a Byzantine monastery was built at Siyagha. It was built on the foundations of an earlier chapel, which was built by monks from Egypt during the 3rd or 4th century. Although little remains of the buildings that housed them the mosaics can be seen in the shrine.
