Pinsteps. Qasr el Yahud Jordan River Israel

The name Qasr El Yehud is the Arabic name for the church of John the Baptist. The Christian rite of baptism is rooted in the Jewish tradition of ritual ablutions in a unique bath called a mikvah. Water must enter and leave the mikvah on its own. For this reason, the best mikvah is the river. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in these places. Monasteries and shelters for Christian pilgrims seeking to baptism in the Jordan River have been built along the banks of the stream for centuries.

Dead Sea nature and factory

One of the most intriguing questions about the nature of the Dead Sea is related to the source of the water. In conditions of the complete desert, the sea manages to replenish with water. We will walk along the Prat Creek, the largest and deepest tributary of the Jordan River. We will visit the Jordan River not far from the place where it flows into the Dead Sea. We will visit the largest and most profitable enterprise in the country - the Dead Sea factory and end the day with camping on the fantastic cliffs of Dragot above the valley of the Dead Sea.
