Home to several biblical cities including Sodom, Gomorrah, and Zoar, the archaeological discoveries between the Jordan River and Tal al-Kharrar have identified this area as Biblical “Bethany Beyond the Jordan.” The area is where John was living when he baptized Jesus. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Baptism Site commission welcomes pilgrims from all around the world seeking spiritual connection to biblical times, a glimpse of history or a chance to be baptized where Jesus was so many years ago.
Si eso no es suficiente historia bíblica para un área, la cueva donde Lot y sus hijas se refugiaron después de la destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra se encuentra en las afueras de un área llamada Safi (Zoar bíblico).
