Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Al-Maghtas)
Recognized as the place where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, Bethany Beyond the Jordan is one of the most revered Christian pilgrimage sites in the world. Located on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a powerful spiritual setting for prayer and reflection.
“Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.” – Matthew 3:13

Mount Nebo is the mountain from which Moses saw the Promised Land. Today, it offers sweeping views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and, on clear days, Jerusalem. The site also includes an ancient church and beautifully preserved mosaics.
“Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo… There the Lord showed him the whole land…” – Deuteronomy 34:1

Machaerus is the hilltop fortress traditionally associated with the imprisonment and execution of John the Baptist. The site offers dramatic views and a strong connection to one of the most moving stories in the New Testament.
“Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” – Matthew 14:8

“Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead…” – 1 Kings 17:1
Petra – The Rose-Red City
Petra is one of Jordan’s most iconic landmarks. Beyond its fame as a world wonder, it also carries biblical associations connected to the Edomites and to traditions surrounding the ancient world of the Bible.
