Amman, Amman, Jordan Meet your driver at your Amman hotel, and travel by private, leisure air-conditioned vehicle to the River Jordan with your own private English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide. On route, soak in views of Jordan’s landscapes, and pull up at Bethany Beyond the Jordan River, known as “Al-Maghtas” in Arabic for the Baptism site, the place on the eastern bank of the river where it’s believed Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ, Juwafat al-Kafrayn, Jordan Meet up with a local guide, and take a tour of the riverbanks and key excavated ruins, learning how the site was sanctified as the place of Jesus’ baptism by the Vatican and a visit by Pope John Paul II in 2000. Drink in the powerful sense of spirituality, and see the remnants of Roman and Byzantine churches, caves, wells, and baptismal pools. As you walk, listen as your guide explains why archaeologists believe that it was here that John the Baptist lived, preached, and performed baptisms. Hear more about this famous Christian pilgrimage spot and how it is held holy in all three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam for being the believed site of the Prophet Elijah’s ascension to heaven. Afterward, reconvene with your driver and return to Amman, where your tour ends with a hotel drop-off. Please note: the Bethany in this trip should not be confused with Bethany in Jerusalem, where it's believed that Mary Magdalene lived and Lazarus rose from the dead. 120 minutes

La recensione prevede due chiavi di lettura : se si considera 'aspetto mistico del luogo ( sito dove la bibbia dice sia stato Battezzato Gesu' Cristo ) merita 5 pallini ; se si prende invece in esame le cose visitabili l'escursione in se e' abbastanza deludente. Infatti la visita prevede solo la presunta fonte battesimale , la tomba di Giovanni Battista ( presunta) il fiume Giordano ( qui ormai ridotto a un rigagnolo ) e la vista solo dal fuori di qualche chiesa ( tutte le correnti cristiane hanno qui eretto una loro chiesa).

Ta tid, läs på. Vandra i stillhet och ta in naturen, historien, vyerna. En fantastisk plats. Amfiteatern bredvid Lutherska kyrkan är en fin plats att avsluta med, sitta och se solen gå ner över bergen där man vid klart väder ser både Jerusalem och Betlehem.
