Dead Sea & Baptism Site Tour
About This Tour
Two of the Jordan Valley's most extraordinary places sit just twenty minutes apart — and this private day tour combines them perfectly. We start at Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the UNESCO World Heritage Site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Your guide walks you through the archaeological remains of Byzantine churches, baptism pools and hermit caves down to the reed-lined banks of the Jordan River itself, one of the most moving experiences in the Holy Land regardless of your faith.
From there we descend to the lowest point on Earth: the Dead Sea, 430 meters below sea level. At a private beach resort you'll float effortlessly on water nearly ten times saltier than the ocean — an experience impossible anywhere else — then cover yourself in the famous mineral-rich black mud that spas around the world import at great expense. Showers, pools, towels and changing rooms are all available at the resort, and there is time for lunch overlooking the water. By late afternoon we return you to your hotel in Amman, relaxed, salt-scrubbed and glowing. Bring a swimsuit, water shoes and a sense of wonder.
