Overview

Visit the renowned site of Bethany Beyond the Jordan River, or "Al-Maghtas" in Arabic. This is believed to be the location on the eastern bank of the river where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist. You'll meet a local guide who will take you on a tour of the riverbanks and significant excavated ruins. You'll learn about how this site gained its sanctity through recognition by the Vatican and a visit from Pope John Paul II in 2000.

Dive in the profound sense of spirituality as you explore remnants of Roman and Byzantine churches, caves, wells, and baptismal pools. As you stroll, your guide will explain why archaeologists believe that this was the place where John the Baptist lived, preached, and performed baptisms. You'll also hear more about this famous Christian pilgrimage spot and its significance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as it's believed to be the site of Prophet Elijah’s ascension to heaven.

Next, you'll head for the city of As-Salt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, your guide will lead you on a walking tour of the Harmony Trail. You'll visit highlights of Jordan's first ancient capital such as Abu Jaber house and As-Salt Museum. Other stops include Al-Khader Orthodox Church, the Great Mosque, the English Evangelical Hospital Complex, Al-Ein Plaza, and the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church. Along the way, you'll gain insights into the lives of local residents before being dropped off at a hotel in Amman.
