Immersive Experience of Bethany Beyond the Jordan
“I baptize with water,’ John replied, ‘but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’ This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.” — John 1:26-28
Through a collaboration between the Baptism Site’s management and TimeLooper, the internationally recognized leader in immersive experience design, Jordan Tourism Board has added the Baptism Site’s Augmented Reality (AR) and 3D experience on www.VisitJordanFromHome.com.
You can download the app on iOS or Android, to experience and complete a virtual tour of the Baptism Site. This effort was initiated to help you get a closer look at the site, during a time when travel is challenging due to the pandemic.
We encourage you to download the app for another creative way to experience the Baptism Site from home, until we can see you there again to experience the realness of this holy site in person.

“It was amazing in Wadi rum to sleep in the desert in secure tents watching the sun go down then get up the next morning to watch it come up very magical. You see a lot of Jordan lovely people always helpful.” — Barbara, March 2019
“It was an unbelievable trip. It was pretty amazing to visit the spot where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. I’ve been to a lot of places, but Jordan was one of the most fantastic. Jordan is one of the most exotic places I have ever been. It was even more special because my son was with me. Mostly what we took away from Jordan were memories, incredible memories.” — Dean Cain, March 2019
