Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

  • 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 barren landscapes, and pull up at Bethany Beyond the Jordan River, known as “Al-Maghtas” in Arabic, the site 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 — Christianity, Judaism, 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.

  • Iraq Al Amir, Amman, Jordan
    Upgrade Iraq Al Amir Visit: Alternatively, if you’ve chosen to upgrade, travel to Iraq Al Amir, home to numerous cliff-side caves dating to the Copper Age. Drive through olive groves and pine trees, and after viewing the caves, continue to nearby Qasr al-Abad, a restored pre-Roman building dating from the 2nd or 3rd century B.C. Admire the exterior, pillars, and animal carvings as you walk around the age-old edifice, thought to have been a villa or minor palace. Then, rejoin your driver and conclude your tour with an Amman hotel drop-off.

This was such a great experience and not just because of the places we visited as much as it was due to Hassan who was our driver and guide! Hassan was absolutely amazing and lovely throughout the day and made this a great experience! Definitely recommend!

Speciale plek en onze gids vertelde alles erg duidelijk. Goed geregeld want je werd met een bus inclusief gids naar de plek gebracht. Daarna nog een stukje lopen.

Definitely worth taking this tour if you have the time. Visiting the Jordan River is much more interesting from the Jordan side as opposed to the Israel side since the actual baptism site is in Jordan. Note that you will have a local guide at the Jordan River. The guide was very good, spoke English well, and was very informative.
