Lonely Planet review for Tell Madaba

This important archaeological site in the heart of Madaba is still under excavation and there's not much to see. Like many sites around Madaba, it was discovered by accident by a local when he started digging the foundations for his house. It contains remains of a Byzantine villa and parts of an Iron Age wall or fortification, the largest of its kind in Jordan and visible from above the arch on the top level.

To get the most from this site you'll need a trained eye. Tread carefully as much remains to be excavated.
