The Egeria Way, also known as the Camino de Egeria, is a spiritual pilgrimage trail in Jordan inspired by the journey of Egeria, a 4th-century Spanish-Galician nun and one of the earliest Christian female pilgrims. The route retraces her steps as she journeyed through the Holy Land, culminating at the Baptism Site of Jesus.
Today, this pilgrimage is revived in Jordan as a part of the John the Baptist Trail, inviting modern travelers to reflect on early Christian heritage, history, and faith.
Egeria's writings document her sacred journey from Mount Nebo to Bethany Beyond the Jordan.
These texts provide an invaluable early Christian record of devotion and pilgrimage.
The Egeria Way revives this route, connecting major biblical landmarks in Jordan.

It passes Rama, Moses Springs, and Wadi Al-Kharrar.
It concludes at the Baptism Site (Bethany Beyond the Jordan), the sacred spot where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
The trail offers a moderate walking experience, ideal for spiritual reflection.
