Mt. Nebo
Mount Nebo is rich with mythical and religious significance. Rising 2,680 feet above sea level, panoramic views of the surrounding landscape can be viewed from the summit - including Jericho and on clear days, Jerusalem. According to Judeo-Christian mythology, this is where Moses had his view of the 'promised land' of the Israelites and is the prophet's burial site. The ruins of Sygaha monastery, dated to the 4th century, are at the mountain's peak. Of modern interest is the sculpture by Giovannai Fontani, the Brazen Serpent monument, also at the top of the mountain.
