Description: During our visit to the Sea of Galilee, we were told that a place called Yardenit was in the beginning believed to be the place of the baptism of Jesus, but later it was understood to be at a place southern than that. Qasr Al-Yahud is the Arabic name for the place - this would translate in English to "Jews Palace". It is at the border of the Jordan River, some Kilometers of the river's estuary to the Dead Sea. From one border of the river we can see the other border, that one already in Jordan. The Jordanians also created a visitation site on their side. The place is considered to be the correct place where Jesus's baptism by St. John has occurred. There are a series of churches from different branches of Christianism around and along the Jordan river near to this point. In case you are Christian and want a special baptism, this is the place to change clothes and enter the river. In any other case, it is definitely an interesting visit - and usually you will find at the place groups of religious people that come to baptize themselves.
