ITINERARY
- 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 story of Jesus's baptism, and guided tours are available. Al-Maghtas, meaning "baptism" or "immersion" in Arabic, holds immense religious significance for Christians worldwide.
