Khirbat al-Mukhayyat is located approximately 6 km northwest of Madaba in western Jordan. The site is located on a prominent limestone ridge that extends southward from the edge of the west-Jordanian plateau into the east-west oriented Wadi Jadid, with the spring of ʿAyun Jadid located at its base. Steep slopes form the sides of the promontory on which the site is located, forming the Wadi Mukhayyat in the west, and the Wadi ʿAfrit on the east. Due to its position, it holds a commanding view westward, with the southern Jordan Valley, northern Dead Sea, and western Judean hills visible. The modern and ancient sites of Jerusalem and Jericho are visible from the summit. Intensive surface collections and surveys of extant architecture at Khirbat al-Mukhayyat have identified the Iron Age, Hellenistic and early Roman period, Byzantine period, and Ottoman periods as the main periods of activity at the site. During the Iron Age, the site is to be identified with the ancient Nebo of the Mesha Inscription and the biblical text, forming a notable border site between competing political programs. Excavations and surface collections have identified material culture ranging from the Iron Age I, through the end of the Iron Age. In the Hellenistic period, the site appears to have been focused on agro-economic production, and the site saw renewed focus in the Byzantine period, with three churches and a small village present at the site during this period. The site is also noted as a Late Roman Amphora 1 (LRA 1) consumption site. The Khirbat al-Mukhyyat/Town of Nebo Archaeological Project is currently conducting research at the site.
