Prophet Moses - Dead Sea parted by Moses. A view from Mount Nebo, Jordan. According to the Bible, the exact location of Moses' grave is unknown, in order to impede idolatry.
The image captures the panoramic view looking west from the summit ridge of Mount Nebo (Jabal Nibu) in western Jordan. According to biblical tradition, this is the mountain peak where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death. On a clear day, this high-altitude mountain ledge offers an expansive, sweeping view across the deep Jordan River Valley, the northern basin of the Dead Sea, and the distant hills of the West Bank. The stone walls visible in the lower left corner belong to the archaeological remnants surrounding the Memorial Church of Moses.
