"Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto you the children of Israel for a possession."

Deuteronomy 32:49

The Dead Sea is to the left. Jericho, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, is the dark patch on the plain in the center. The Jordan River is the dark strip of green running from the Dead Sea northward.
