With the aid JUDE TWAL and SEIF SHAHROURI, two of Arch. HANNA S QUBTI's brilliant students at AUM, and in collaboration with ACOR and CyArk, a comprehensive photogrammetric documentation project was completed for three significant historical sites: the Burnt Palace, the Virgin Mary Church within the Madaba Archaeological Site, and the Byzantine Saint George Church in central Madaba.
These collective efforts have culminated in the creation of a virtual museum that showcases these remarkable sites, allowing anyone to explore and appreciate their historical significance from anywhere in the world. You are kindly invited to visit the virtual museum through the link below and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Madaba.
