Drive Petra to Madaba, Jordan and Fly to Cairo

By Paul Bryers

Thus, our Jordanian excursion has come to a close, but our Egyptian adventure is yet to begin.

We departed Petra at a reasonable hour and proceeded to Madaba to visit the Greek Orthodox St George’s Church and the ancient map of the Levantine.

The church was aesthetically pleasing, and the mosaic floor map was truly remarkable, demonstrating surprising accuracy.

We were able to identify a significant portion of our 4-day trip on the map, which correlated nicely with a fellow traveler’s Apple Tag locations.

We then enjoyed a delightful farewell lunch and subsequently made our way back to Amman Airport for our 55-minute flight to Cairo.

Outside the restaurant were a couple of lovely gable end paintings.
