The mountain is 710 meters above sea level. You can see the Westbank from the top of the mountain. As far as Jericho. The prophet Moses died on this mountain which makes it a place for pilgrims to visit. We mostly saw Korean pilgrims. On the top of the mountain you can find a small museum, a church, and viewing platform. It is on the way from Madaba to the Dead Sea.
