Al - Maghtas (baptism of Christ Place)

If you are planning to visit the place where Christ was baptized, you can do it in the same journey as to Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea and Bethany. The complete tour costs around 30 euros. The place is one of the most recent discoveries of biblical excavation. The excavations began in 1996 two years after the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan. This area known as Wadi Jarrar is believed to be the place Bethany Bible which means "the other side of Jordan" and that was the place where John the Baptist lived and where Jesus Christ was baptized. This spot is also known to be the spot where the Prophet

Elijah ascended to heaven.
