Abstract

The site is declared holy for Christians as it is the place where Jesus Christ ( peace be upon him) performed his baptism over 2000 years ago. From then on, the site became a pilgrimage place for Christians from all over the world, and Jordan was put in the list of religious tourism destinations. The baptistery is located in Wadi kharar, in Beit Ania village, East of Jordan. It is 50 kms from the capital and 9 kms from the Dead Sea. It overlooks Jericho, El Qods West of Jordan River and Mount Nebo to the East.
