Discover the Camino de Egeria in Jordan, a historic biblical pilgrimage trail following the final section of the John the Baptist Trail from Mount Nebo to Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the Baptism Site of Jesus.
The Egeria Way, also known as the Camino de Egeria, is a revived spiritual pilgrimage trail inspired by Egeria, one of the earliest known Christian female pilgrims and travel writers.
This meaningful route follows sacred landscapes connected with Moses, John the Baptist, early Christian hermits, Byzantine pilgrimage, and the Baptism Site of Jesus Christ at Bethany Beyond the Jordan.
Egeria was a 4th-century pilgrim from the Spanish-Galician world who travelled through the Holy Land during the early Byzantine Christian period. Her journey is remembered through the Itinerarium Egeriae, also known as the Travels of Egeria.
Her writings are highly valued because they describe early Christian pilgrimage, sacred geography, liturgical traditions, and personal devotion. Today, her legacy is honored in Jordan through the Camino de Egeria pilgrimage route.
The Camino de Egeria follows the final two days of the broader John the Baptist Trail. It begins at Mount Nebo and concludes at Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the authentic Baptism Site of Jesus.
The Egeria Way is more than a walking trail. It is a spiritual, cultural, historical, and biblical journey through Jordan’s sacred landscapes. Pilgrims and travelers can walk in the footsteps of Egeria, John the Baptist, early Christians, prophets, hermits, and generations of faithful travelers.
In January 2025, the Camino de Egeria was officially twinned with Spain’s Camino de Santiago, creating a symbolic bridge between Jordan and Spain through faith, culture, pilgrimage, and shared heritage.
