Panoramic view of the promised land from the peak Pisgah on Mount Nebo, rising up to 800m above sea level, in the Moab mountain ranges in present day Jordan. On clearer days, one could see the Dead Sea, the Palestinian Authority controlled town of Jericho all the way to the Judean wilderness, to Bethleham, to Jerusalem and the Mediterranean Sea.
"And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, and the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither." Deuteronomy 34:1-4
