Banks and Phosphates back Al-Maghtas projects
The project to develop the lands surrounding the site of the Baptism of the Lord (the Baptismal Site) aims to enhance the infrastructure and religious and cultural tourism services, in conjunction with preparations for the year 2030, which marks two thousand years since the baptism of the Lord Jesus. The initiative includes implementing designs for the green area, conducting studies for a sustainable transportation system, setting up a facility for sorting agricultural products, as well as community training and empowerment programs and the development of products based on the site’s identity. The total estimated cost of the projects is $120 million, covering a museum at $50 million, a pilgrim village at $40 million, and infrastructure at $27 million. Contributions will support the implementation of these projects, which are scheduled to begin preliminary works by the end of the first quarter of 2027, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2029. These efforts will enhance the ability to attract future funding and partnerships, and generate sustainable developmental impact for the local community, with a focus on offering comprehensive religious and cultural experiences to visitors to the area.
