HOLY LAND TOUR • Up 'n Away




A view to behold


Today it's farewell to one plane and hello to another. I landed in Dubai's busy airport this morning at about 5.30am after a very long sleep. Having found the rest of the ACOM tour group and transferred onto another plane for the last leg of the journey we arrived in Amman, Jordan  about 2 hours later.

Soon we were on our bus and heading down the Desert Highway via Madaba and Mt Nebo to check in at the Panorama Hotel before we head off for an introduction to camel trekking in the desert.

Unfortunately, I cannot describe the amazing views from the place or give my impressions of the biblically-famous Mt Nebo right now because I don't have internet access today. But imagine with me, Mt Nebo, the place where Moses
was granted a view of the Promised Land. From there you can see a panorama of the Holy Land - the River Jordan, the west bank of the city of Jericho and Jerusalem on a very clear day. 


My husband Barry is posting this for me today.

Deu 34:1-3  And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land--from Gilead to Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah to the western [Mediterranean] sea, and the South (the Negeb) and the plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palm Trees, as far as Zoar.
