On Mount Nebo, in the Sanctuary of Moses and the surrounding monastic buildings atop Siyagha, in the Churches of the Village of Khirbat al-Mukhayyat and in the Valleys of 'Uyun Musa and 'Ayn al-Kanisah, there have been preserved a concentration of mosaic works which are fundamental for understanding the development of byzantine-omayyad mosaic art in the territory of Madaba from the IV to the end of the VIII century.
