Interesting, but badly organised

The site and its history are undoubtedly interesting, but as a touristic experience it leaves a lot to be desired. We were planning to stop here for an hour on the way through. This would be enough time to see the main sights, but because...More

Not worth a special trip

Interesting enough, if you happen to be nearby. Entrance is JD12 for foreigners, for a (dis)organized tour, which leaves every 30-60 minutes if there are enough people. JD20 extra if you want a golf cart to drive you around. There are a number of churches,...More

Fascinating Experience

This is a 'must see' for those touring Jordan's religious sites! At the site's parking lot, the wait for the bus, which takes tour groups to the Baptismal Site, was about 30 minutes or so. The tour of the Baptismal Site, the River Jordan and...More

Full of history

The entrance fee is 10jd for Jordanian and 15 for foreigners. It gives you the entrance, a ride by bus to the site and a guide that speaks reasonable English. Once you get there you have to walk for about 30-40 minutes in about 35-40...More

Exceptional biblical site

The baptismal site, where tradition says Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, lies on the eastern bank of the Jordan River. The site is disputed between Jordan and Israel, which has traditionally had it's own baptismal site for many years. Known as the Maghtas,...More

Kept pristine

Though the current Jordan River is far from the place where Jesus got baptized, the place is still kept as it was years before.

Veru interesting historical visit, well organised

The visit to the (supposed) baptismal site of Jesus was well organised, albeit quite touristic. The guide spoke English well and we got to stop for a while by the Jordan river. I think the tour took about an hour, or a bit more. You...More

Unreal Experience

Firstly, I am not religious, but some of my friends are (ones a priest) and I went there to get some souvenirs for them. I was very impressed. There is a good gift shop at the start, bus with good aircon to take you to...More

There is a parking lot where you can leave your car. From there, after you buy your entrance ticket, a bus will take you close to the border. From the bus station, a park guide (you don't have to pay him extra, but you can... More
