View of the Jordan Valley and Memorial Church of Moses, located on mount Nebo, Jordan. Mount Nebo is most famously known as the place where Moses, the prophet of the Abrahamic religions, is said to have died. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, God showed Moses the Promised Land from the summit of Mount Nebo before he died. Moses' death on Mount Nebo makes this peak a significant pilgrimage site for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.
