This family's experience:

Activities: The Baptism Site is the historically best-documented baptism site of Jesus. We took a small bus, walked on wooden planks through a bushy area, and watched baptisms taking place in the Jordan River

Highlights: The interesting part was watching baptisms. The children were fascinated by the people and the rituals. They enjoyed dipping their feet in the water ✨
