This place is not very interesting if you are not a Cristian. People go there to get baptized the way they believe Jesus was baptized and they believe that qas the right location. The place is under construction and it was a bit messy. The only thing I could find interesting was to see the border with Jordan so close. It is weird that it can be so fragile and easy to cross. I know there is security, but not very convincing. There are a few ruins of churches, but nothing is explained. And the heat it is almost unbelievable, way too hot.

This place was really cool. Great place to stop for a quick 30 minute visit while driving the Jordan Valley road. It’s said to be the spot where the Children of Israel crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land, the prophet Elijah departed from Elisha is protégé and where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. You can also see the border of the Kingdom of Jordan with a Jordanian soldier standing guard. It’s most moving to catch a Christian group perform a baptism here.

This is the place where the jews crossed the jordan. This is the location where the water stopped and the Jews crossed into israel.

Busy but stunning place steeping in so much history. You can take the steps down to the river to touch the water but also drench yourself in the water from the showers provided at the Riverside. Beautiful experience.

What can be said about this site that hasn't already been said? This place is incredibly holy and important to Christians and also very popular with other tourists interested in the story. Important to remember that this place is always busy but particularly so during the Christian holidays.

getting baptized and be able to baptize my family in the place that Jesus walked is a core memory that I won't soon forgot.
