About this activity
Start The Tour from Aqaba. Departure to The third most holy site for Christians in the World, after the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Church of the Nativity, is the site of the baptism of Jesus Christ, known in Arabic as Al-Maghtas. Excavations at Wadi Kharrar carried out after the 1994 peace treaty found evidence of a complex of churches, hermit cells and other buildings described in the writings of many pilgrims who have visited the site since the 2nd century AD. Now preserved as a tourist destination, Al-Maghtas attracts tourists year-round. today Al-Maghtas is a beautiful site, full of peace. Along with other religious sites, such as Mukawir, Lot's Cave and Mount Nebo, Al-Maghtas attracts pilgrims from all over the world, just as it has for centuries. Drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. With the highest content of minerals and salts in the world, the Dead Sea water has anti-inflammatory properties and the dark mud found on its banks has been used for more than 2000 years for therapeutic purposes. You have leisure time and the opportunity to experiment floating in the salty waters. Next take a rest at the Ma’in hot springs. Popular with both locals and tourists alike, the springs are located 264m below sea level in one of the most breathtaking desert oases in the world. Thousands of visiting bathers come each year to enjoy the mineral-rich waters of these hyper-thermal waterfalls. These falls originate from winter rainfalls in the highland plains of Jordan and eventually feed the 109 hot and cold springs in the valley. This water is heated to temperatures of up to 63° Celsius by underground lava fissures as it makes its way through the valley before emptying into the Zarqa River
