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 site on the Israel border features several churches from various Christian denominations and is 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, significant for both Judaism and Christianity.

Next, we will travel south to the Dead Sea, located over 1,400 feet (430 metres) below sea level. You will have 2 hours of free time to bathe in the lake and experience the high salt concentrations that make it impossible to sink.

Finally, our private tour concludes as we drop you off at your hotel in Amman after approximately 6 to 7 hours of exploring.
