King Talat St. In Front of The mosaic map Church, 25, minutes from The Dead Sea, مأدبا، Jordan

Excellent hotel in terms of location, price and cleanliness according to the standard in Jordan. Delicious and varied breakfast. The roof terrace is a big plus of this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I definitely recommend!

So far my favourite hotel in Jordan. Superb location and plenty of places to park your car.

Ibrahim is very knowledgeable about the area and is multi lingual. This place seems very popular among Italians.

Cleanest hotel I've been at so far, rooms have AC and some rooms even have a balcony.

Beds are comfortable, bathroom is clean and tidy.

Breakfast is also very nice, lovely view on the terrace.

Came here with my wife and I would be glad to bring over my mother sometime in the future too.

Highly recommend. We arrived late at night after an endless trip and it was really relaxing to be welcomed in this hotel. Super nice host, really kind and friendly, awaiting for our late check-in with fresh water bottles.
There is an amazing view from the rooftop where the breakfast is served.
Hotel itself has the best location in the town and it is really clean and quiet.

Moab Land Hotel

unsure if it’s included in the Jordan Pass, seems to be in January but was set to pay JOD1 entry.
i was alone when I visited and the guide took me through all the roped off areas to get a view of the incredible mosaics - the floor is the largest in Madaba. Just like everywhere else, beautiful and incredible!

Nice staff and listening, beautiful mosaics although some are inaccessible because opposite of the official view. Quick visit to make but pleasant! I recommend (price 3JOD for 3 different museum in Madaba).

The Church of the Apostles is located in Madaba, Jordan, and is one of the important archaeological sites in the city.  The church was built in the seventh century AD by the Copts, and it is considered one of the oldest churches in the region.

The church was discovered in 1884 AD. The church is distinguished by its external facade, which is decorated with various inscriptions and decorations. The church also includes a number of ancient wall paintings dating back to the Byzantine period.

The Church of the Apostles is an important tourist site in Madaba

Apostles Church كنيسة الرسل

Very interesting site. Yes pay admission, ticket outside the Jordan Pass. There are well-preserved mosaics. The underground part is very extensive and interesting, there is an ancient and still functioning well. You can go up to the bell tower where you can admire the whole city.

Small treasure in Madaba, a church full of mosaics with a still functioning well inside and a bell tower with a panoramic view of the city. The ruins are very fascinating. It absolutely deserves to be visited.

Biserica Sf. Ioan Botezătorul

Absolutely amazing. Don’t hesitate to take a dinner or lunch here. All the dishes we tried were very tasty and the staff was so nice, explaining us the ingredients and helping us to choose. They even went to buy something they didn’t have in the restaurant for making our dinner perfect. Don’t forget to try the homemade dish cooked outside the restaurant in a traditional way. Highly recommended.

Jaw Zaman is a fantastic restaurant in Madaba, Jordan that offers delicious traditional food at an affordable price. The al-fresco terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the local cuisine while taking in the charming atmosphere of this historic city. The food is not only fresh but also incredibly tasty, with generous portions that will leave you feeling satisfied. In addition to the great food, the service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who are happy to guide you through the menu and make recommendations. What's more, Jaw Zaman also offers local beer, which is a rare find in Jordan and adds an extra touch to your dining experience. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere, Jaw Zaman is definitely worth a visit.

If you are visiting Madaba this is a must stop! The food was incredible and the service was even better. Our host went out of his way to help us choose a local dish and his suggestion to have the maftool poetry dish did not disappoint. We also got the mushroom soup which was outstanding, especially given it was freezing outside.  Also don't pass on the minted lemonade.  What an incredible experience.

Jaw Zaman Restaurant and Caffè

A stop along the tourist trail. There are several mosaics on the floor and an ancient Roman road outside. The mosaics are nice to see if you enjoy this type of ancient ruin. There are several tourist shops around the area to buy souvenirs or to get something to eat or drink.

Must see!
Rich in explanations and layers of the different cultures that overlapped in the course of history.
The mosaic map is a superb sight

Very interesting place..
Well preserved mosaic back to ancient times..
Entrance fees are cheap 0.25 JOD for Jordanians and 3 JOD for tourists. And the ticket allow you entering 4 locations with no extra fees.
In my opinion it needs more graphical information and story board like to connect to that era.

Madaba Archaeological Park

Not bad for being in a small country like Jordan. Mosaics from mid to late 1st melinium. There was no entry fee. But may be it's not the case always, because there is a ticket office.

A bit disappointing. All the doors to the pieces were shut. We were then taken around the exhibit by the person on the entrance (we assumed because nobody else was there). He took us round the whole site in 10 minutes then asked for money... ruined it for us.

The place is more like a house, where different rooms have mosaic floors. I DO  NOT recommend it. You will be welcomed by a person who knows very little English and the only understandable words are: 'original' and '6th century'.

Museo di Madaba

Pistachio Café

A very pleasant find and completely empty vs the other popular ones in the city. There is an entrance fee but the whole place was so well kept and nicely done up I think it was worth. The underground network of tunnels and rooms were very interesting and surprisingly extensive considering the church isn’t really that big when we looked at it from the outside. My favorite was the view from the bell tower. It’s an interesting climb up to the top where you can walk around to have a view on all sides but via a super narrow walkway.

Such a multifaceted church, museum, and archeological site. Not only does this place have great historical significance, but it is a living place where people can learn, worship, or marvel. I enjoyed the underground passages and the bell tower most of all. If in Madaba, St. Johns Church is a definite must-see.

Very beautiful church with a peaceful atmosphere. The ancient underground portion is very interesting and include a Moabite well, Byzantine and Ottoman remains, and remains of ancient pottery. The climb to the top of the tower is worth the view, but is only possible for the young and agile.

Jordan is a beautiful and diverse land. We go from big cities to villages with a few dozen houses, from the arid desert to the crystal clear sea, from deep canyons to hills and immense meadows.

Jordan: between wonder and amazement

La Giordania è una terra stupenda e dall’aspetto vario. Si passa da grandi città a paesini con poche decine di case, dall’arido deserto al mare cristallino, da canyon profondi a colline e prati immensi.
È stato uno dei viaggi più belli che abbia fatto,...
