The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ, also known as Al-Maghtas in Jordan, is a significant archaeological site on the east bank of the Jordan River. It is believed to be where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, and has been revered since ancient times. The site includes remnants of monasteries, churches, baptismal pools, and hermit dwellings, all connected by a stream called Wadi Kharrar. After being abandoned due to conflicts, the area was cleared of mines and has become a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims, attracting thousands of visitors each year.
