    Hiking

    Pope John Paul II's visit to Israel and Jordan in March 2000 sparked a flurry of construction activity here. On the other side of the Jordan River, in Jordan, research into these sites began before 2000, with plans to open them to tourists over the next few years. Israel first became interested in opening this area a year before the Pope's visit in March 2000. Since then, the State of Israel has invested several million shekels in this project, and after lengthy planning and implementation of infrastructure work, the project was completed in 2011.

    Baptismal site on the holy river Jordan.
    Here at this point John the Baptist was most likely active.

    Completely developed for tourism. Most people come here in groups with guides.
    You can also go into the Jordan if you want, but bear in mind that it is very muddy (see photo).
    I also found the white doves that are there very beautiful.
