The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ, also known as Bethany Beyond the Jordan or Al-Maghtas, is a cherished archaeological World Heritage Site in Jordan. Located on the east bank of the Jordan River, just north of the Dead Sea, it's widely believed to be the very place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. This significant site has been a special pilgrimage destination since Byzantine times, with numerous ancient churches and monasteries still standing today. Recent excavations have uncovered more clues of early Christian life, including hermit caves and a baptismal pool. Visitors from around the world come to experience this sacred place, where a museum shares the story of Jesus's baptism and guided tours offer a deeper look. The Arabic name Al-Maghtas, meaning "baptism" or "immersion," highlights its profound religious significance for Christians everywhere.
