Starting early, first stop to tour Wadi Kharrar, or the Baptism Site. 

Recent excavations at Al Maghtas have located Bethany on the east bank of the Jordan River.  Independent archeological teams and experts confirm this conclusion, and the Roman Catholic Church has placed Al Maghtas on the list of five official pilgrimage sites in Jordan.  Both St. Jerome and the 4th century historian Eusebius identify Al Maghtas as an integral part of the early Christian pilgrimage route between Jerusalem and Mount Nebo.  It also appears on the mosaic map of Madaba.

Among discoveries in the original settlement at Al Maghtas are seven churches from the 1st century, as well as remains of many Byzantine churches from later centuries.  The Jordanian government continues to support research and preservation efforts at this immensely significant.

Madaba, the home of the famous mosaic map including Jerusalem, and Mount Nebo, said the be the place where Moses spent his last days gazing at the Promised Land, are visited on this tour. Mount Nebo features a mountaintop Byzantine chapel full of mosaics and a beautiful view of the land to the west. Tour begins after a half hour drive.
