Experience the profound sense of spirituality and see the remnants of Roman and Byzantine churches, caves, wells, and baptismal pools. As you walk, listen to the guide explain why archaeologists believe John the Baptist lived, preached, and performed baptisms here.

Afterward, meet with the driver and return to Amman, concluding the tour with a hotel drop-off.
