Aerial Map of the Baptism Site (Bethany-beyond-the-Jordan)

Below is an aerial map of Wadi Kharrar and the area administered by the Jordan Tourist Board as "the Baptism Site." This area has been confidently identified with the biblical Bethany-beyond-the-Jordan, where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, based on archaeological and historical evidence. See our Baptism Site article for full details. Scroll down for an interactive version of the map, or download our free Google Earth file for even easier navigation. See Aerial Maps for more aerial maps and plans of sites around the world.
