Jerash and the Jordan River

The ancient city of Jerash is located north of Amman. It is considered to be one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world.

At the Jordan river we saw the location where Jesus was believed to have been baptized (the part that looks like the dry river bed), and the current location of the river now (slightly to the west). Across the river you can see the West Bank region of Israel (in front of where Bruce is standing).
