The site is located on the banks of River Jordan at 380 Meters Below Sea Level, just 5 miles North of the Dead Sea, the final destination of the river.

River Jordan gives the pilgrims and tourists alike the feeling of authenticity.

This site is considered a holy place as it is where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist an event that changed human history and marked the dawn of Christianity.

Also, there is a number of Churches in the area.

Worth visiting. better during cooler months to avoid the Jordan Valley high temperatures.
