Famous Biblical Sites in Jordan: Sightseeing Tour of Bethany

Bethany

Visit the baptism site of Jesus in Bethany and enjoy views of the Dead Sea


Overview
Stunning archaeological discoveries between the Jordan River and Tell al-Kharrar since 1996 have identified this area as biblical 'Bethany beyond the Jordan', where John the Baptist was living when he baptized Jesus Christ. Bethany has profound religious significance as this was also the place where the first five apostles met and where the foundations of the early Christian faith were laid. Ancient prophets and biblical personalities including Moses, Joshua and Elijah are also associated with Bethany.

The area also affords spectacular views of the Dead Sea.

Take a tour of the religious site of Bethany to explore firsthand the foundations of Christianity
