RELIGIOUS

Located in the Holy Land and criss-crossed with sites recorded in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and sections of the Koran, Jordan has been a gateway for pilgrims throughout the centuries. EAST TRAVELERS can provide Biblical tour packages that allows visitors to experience Bethany in the River Jordan, the baptism site of Jesus, Mount Nebo, from which the promised land was revealed to Moses, and the likes of Umm Qais, the biblical Gemara, where Jesus was said to perform the miracle of the swine, when he cast demons from two local men. Other key biblical sites include the enchanting Mukawwir, or Machaerus, where Salome danced for King Herod, and Lot’s Cave, which was a place of refuge for Abraham’s nephew.
