The Baptism Site (Bethany Beyond the Jordan): Tours and Day Trips

40 tours

Bethany Beyond the Jordan is a UNESCO-listed archaeological and pilgrimage site on the east bank of the river, and in this catalogue it is almost always a stop on the Madaba and Mount Nebo day out of Amman rather than a trip of its own. The tours below are listed with what each one covers, how long the visit lasts and what it costs. The site sits inside a controlled zone, so access is guided, and modest dress is expected.

“Ha sido una experiencia espectacular, Raed me pasó a buscar a la hora indicada, y entendió si necesitaba más tiempo para prepararme. Comenzamos el recorrido y me explicó con claridad la importancia de cada punto y me indicó que me tomara todo el tiempo que necesitara para visitar cada lugar por mi cuenta. Además, Raed ofreció una conversación muy amena y me permitió conocer más de la cultura y costumbres de los jordanos. Fue de verdad una excelente experiencia, gracias a la excelente atención de Raed. Lo recomiendo al 100%”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · from $106

Private trip from Amman to Bethany Beyond the Jordan (El-Maghtas) on the Jordan River, with local guide, entrance fees, and optional caves.

“I was keen to visit the Baptism site and I’m certainly glad I went. The 4/5 stars is more because the tour itself is mostly transport - if you visit as a solo traveller as I did, on arrival at the visitor center, you must wait for a bus and local guide to take you around as part of a group. The wait for me was rather short but it could be as long as one hour, so be prepared! Of course, being at the site is worth the wait (just bring some bug spray because the insects are out in force).”
