Umm ar-Rasas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site east of Madaba, holds the spectacular St. Stephen's Church mosaic — a second great floor map of the Holy Land's cities — plus a stylite tower and Roman camp ruins.
It is quiet and rarely crowded. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan combine it with Madaba, and full package tours to Jordan include it for archaeology lovers.
