Discover
Full-day private tour from Amman to the Dead Sea and the Baptism Site of Jesus Christ. You travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your own English-speaking licensed driver. You set the pace — stop whenever and wherever you like for photos, coffee or a stroll.
Bethany beyond the Jordan (Al-Maghtas) is the place where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. You walk down to the excavated churches, the baptismal pools and the banks of the River Jordan itself. Afterwards the road continues to the Dead Sea, where you have time to float in water almost ten times saltier than the ocean and to try the famous mineral mud.
