Additional Info

What To Expect

You will be picked up from Queen Alia International Airport by your driver in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your driver will transfer you to the Baptism site which is close to the Dead Sea (the lowest point on earth). Al-Maghtas (Arabic), meaning "baptism" or "immersion" in Arabic, is an archaeological World Heritage site in Jordan on the east bank of the Jordan River, officially known as Baptism Site "Bethany Beyond the Jordan" (Al-Maghtas). It is considered to be the original location of the Baptism of Jesus and the ministry of John the Baptist and has been venerated as such since at least the Byzantine period. Whilst in Al-Maghtas you will see the remnants of a monastery on a mound known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah's Hill) and an area close to the river with remains of churches, baptism ponds and pilgrim and hermit dwellings. The two areas are connected by a stream called Wadi Kharrar. Then visit Jabal Mar-Elias, traditionally identified as the site of the ascension of the prophet Elijah to heaven. Also see the Jordan River that is a 251-kilometre (156 mi)-long river in West Asia flowing to the Dead Sea. Israel and the West Bank border the river to the west, while the Golan Heights and Jordan lie to its east. Both Jordan and the West Bank take their names from the river.  You will have lunch before Your driver transfer you back to Queen Alia International airport.

  • We had never heard of Airport...

    We had never heard of Airport Layover Tours. We were staying in an airport hotel and they agreed to pick us up there at no extra charge. The tour guide did not speak English very well, but we could understand much of what he said. He had to park at a pick up point and a bus picked up people at this point because it is in a military zone. The water was almost nonexistent in the baptism site, but the guide said it fills with water in the spring. There is some walking to do once we got off the bus. We could see a baptism taking place in the Jordan River at a church across the river in Israel. The people on our tour there were from all over the world. One woman from Slovenia took a small bottle out of her purse and filled it with water from the Jordan River for her grandchild's baptism. We were given ample time to take photos. Afterwards, we went by a gift shop where they sold bottles of Jordan River water. So glad that we took this tour.
