Bethany & Dead Sea Tour

Visit Bethany beyond Jordan, the place where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised, and bathe in the Dead Sea on this unforgettable tour from Amman!

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Amman and set off toward Bethany, located on the banks of the Jordan River. This pilgrimage destination on the border with Israel features churches from various Christian branches, known as Jordan beyond the River, the location where John the Baptist baptised Jesus Christ.

We'll spend an hour visiting the archaeological ruins of the historic Byzantine churches and see the exact spot where Jesus was baptised. We will also visit the Jordan River to touch its waters.

Continuing our day trip, we will head south to the Dead Sea, situated more than 1,400 feet (430 metres) below sea level. Here, you'll have 2 hours of free time to bathe and experience the high salt concentrations that allow you to float.

Finally, our private tour will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel in Amman after between 6 and 7 hours of exploring.
