Forty five kilometers from Madaba and 25 kilometers from Mount Nebo, Bethany is a highly sacred place because Jesus was baptized right here.

My suggestion

The site is located within a heavily monitored military zone. It's impossible to travel there alone, and you must join a group and enter with an official guide.
