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 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 - 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.

  • Dead Sea, Madaba, Jordan
    The Dead Sea is one of the most incredible places and the world’s first natural spa. It is known for the Biblical story of the destruction of the old cities of Sodom and Gomorra in the Old Testament, which was turned into salt. The Dead Sea speaks for itself; there is no living fish! It is by far one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm shining water glowing from its scorching sun is known for the concentration of salt and minerals, which makes it a therapeutic property, as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed! After such a relaxing experience in the first world’s natural spa, your driver will take you back to your centrally located Amman hotel.

Hafez was the best tour guide one could ask for. I did not want to leave his company as he even showed me about the city of Amman after the tour which was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as I was able to put my entire body in the Jordan river where jesus was baptized. Hafez was so knowledgeable about history of Jordan and other things. He even took me to see the highest building in Amman and waited for me. The hotel experience of this tour was awesome with a. All you can eat buffet at the holiday inn at the desf sea. An experience one should not miss in this beautiful country of Jordan.

Mr.Hasan was above amazing , he catered to my every need, he made me feel safe and comfortable being a woman traveling alone. He spoiled me by making sure that I had a nice cup of hot tea before we start any tour. He was not just a tour guide but I came to see him as a friend, we laughed and talked about our families. He took me to Mount Nebo and it was truly an experience I was not prepared for, I think I cried all the way back to the hotel and Mr.Hasan was simply lovely about the American in his back seat falling apart.
