Overview

Visit the Baptism Site (named El-Maghtas in Arabic) on the Jordanian side of the Jordan River. It is one of the most important recent discoveries in biblical archaeology where John the Baptist lived and Jesus was baptized. The Dead Sea is the first world natural spa and the lowest point on earth. Its calm, shining water glowing from the scorching sun is known for its concentration of salt and minerals, which makes it a therapeutic as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed.

Activity itinerary

The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ, also known as Bethany Beyond the Jordan or Al-Maghtas, is an archaeological World Heritage Site in Jordan. It is located on the east bank of the Jordan River, north of the Dead Sea, and is believed to be where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. The site has been venerated as a pilgrimage destination since at least the Byzantine period, and many ruins of churches and monasteries from that time remain. In recent years, archaeological excavations have uncovered even more evidence of early Christian activity at the site, including caves used by hermits and a baptismal pool. The Baptism Site is open to the public and is a popular destination for Christian pilgrims and tourists. The museum tells the storey of Jesus's baptism, and guided tours are available. Al-Maghtas, meaning "baptism" or "immersion" in Arabic, holds immense religious significance for Christians worldwide.
