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.
Если библейской истории недостаточно для одного района, то пещера, где Лот и его дочери нашли убежище после разрушения Содома и Гоморры, находится недалеко от района под названием Сафи (библейский Зоар).
