Private Half – Day Tour to Baptism Site (Bethany Beyond of Jordan)

Bethany Beyond of Jordan many tourists coming to Jordan are eager to explore its rich Christian history, and a visit to Bethany Beyond the Jordan is the best place to discover this heritage. Thought to be the baptismal site of Jesus Christ, Bethany Beyond the Jordan is the number one place for Christians to visit in the Kingdom of Jordan. Bethany not only serves as an archeological treasure dating back to the 1st century CE, but as a significant pilgrimage site as well. Christians come to retrace the biblical steps of where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Bethany is toured by millions of visitors annually, and it was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Historians and archaeologists have claimed Bethany as the place where John the Baptist once lived, preached, and baptized Jesus of Nazareth. There is no way to know exactly when the famous baptism took place, but it’s estimated at around 30 CE, during the beginning of his ministry. Most Christian denominations accept these archeological findings and evidential claims. Agriculturists from the Copper Age (around 3500 BC), once dwelled here too, making it an intriguing destination for tourists of different backgrounds to discover.

Additionally, the site contains aspects of a Jewish ritual bath (mikveh), from the Second Temple period, rendering it a significant location for Jewish historicity as well as Christian. Both religions engage in ritualistic practices where immersion is seen as a symbol of purification, and Bethany’s tranquil waters served this function for both faiths.
