- Amman - Meet the driver at the Amman hotel and travel in a private, comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to the River Jordan with a private English-speaking driver who also serves as a guide. Along the way, enjoy the views of Jordan’s landscapes and arrive at Bethany Beyond the Jordan River, known as “Al-Maghtas” in Arabic, the site on the eastern bank of the river where it is believed Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
- The Baptism Site Of Jesus Christ - Join a local guide for 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. Experience the profound sense of spirituality and see the remnants of Roman and Byzantine churches, caves, wells, and baptismal pools. As you walk, listen as the guide explains why archaeologists believe that John the Baptist lived, preached, and performed baptisms here. Learn more about this renowned Christian pilgrimage site and how it is revered in all three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam for being the believed site of the Prophet Elijah’s ascension to heaven. Afterward, meet up with the driver and return to Amman, where the tour concludes with a hotel drop-off. Please note: the Bethany in this trip should not be confused with Bethany in Jerusalem, where it is believed that Mary Magdalene lived and Lazarus rose from the dead.
- Dead Sea Region - Continue to explore the wonders of the Dead Sea by visiting a private beach area at the water’s edge and enjoy free time to swim in the Dead Sea’s waters; relax on the beach, and take in the stunning setting found nowhere else. Alternatively, upgrade the tour to include hotel entry with a wider range of facilities, including several outdoor swimming pools and a stylish spa offering Dead Sea Mud Treatments, including revitalizing body scrubs and massages, which are at your own expense.
- Dead Sea - The Dead Sea is one of the most remarkable places and the world’s first natural spa. It is known for the Biblical story of the destruction of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament, which were turned into salt. The Dead Sea is unique; there are no living fish! It is undoubtedly one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm, shining water glowing under the scorching sun is known for its high concentration of salt and minerals, which provide therapeutic properties, as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed! After such a relaxing experience in the world’s first natural spa, the driver will return you to the centrally located Amman hotel.
