| Dead Sea, Jordan |
Pick up from your hotel at the Dead Sea for a visit to the baptismal site of Jesus Christ (Bethany beyond Jordan). The Baptism Site “Bethany beyond the Jordan” (Al-Maghtas) is located in the Jordan Valley, north of the Dead Sea.
The site contains two distinct archaeological areas, Tell el-Kharrar, also known as Jabal Mar Elias, and the area of the Churches of St. John the Baptist. 'Bethany beyond the Jordan' is of immense religious significance to the majority of denominations of Christian faith, who have accepted this site as the location where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised by John the Baptist. This reference encouraged generations of monks, hermits, pilgrims and priests to reside in and visit the site, and to leave behind testimonies of their devotion and religious activities, dating to between the 4th and the 15th century CE. At present, the site has regained a popular status as pilgrimage destination for Christians, who continue to engage in baptism rituals on site.
Then we head to visit Madaba, a city best known for the famous 6th century Mosaic map of Jerusalem & Holy Land and for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, population of about 60,000. It is best known for its Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, especially a large Byzantine-era mosaic map of the Holy Land.Madaba is located 30 kilometres (19 miles) south-west of the capital Amman. Proceed to Mt. Nebo (10km from Madaba), a city mentioned in the bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the promised land that he would never enter, Now proceeding to Amman for a panoramic tour of the capital (no stopping at sites).
Upon completion, transfer back to your hotel at the Dead Sea for drop off.
