Drive to Mukawir/Mucharaeus







The dramatic scenery of Mukawir, Herod the Great's fortress of Machaerus. In the left hand photo the pathway crosses the remains of the aqueduct, and in the others the columns of the palace can still be seen, silhouetted on the summit of the hill.


Where Herod the 'Great' has his palace up high above the Dead Sea and where Salome danced for the head of John the Baptist.



32 km from Madaba - about half an hour by car of interesting scenery.
