Baptism site strengthens preservation
The Council of Ministers in Jordan announced that the site of the Baptist Site of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) “Al-Mā‘ad” will become a protected natural area aimed at preserving its religious and historical heritage as well as its environmental resources. This move is part of preparations for the celebration of the 2,000th anniversary of the baptism of Jesus Christ in 2030. The decision seeks to safeguard the ecosystems surrounding the Jordan River, including vegetation and migratory animals, while promoting sustainable religious tourism and balancing conservation with development. This designation grants the site a place of global symbolic and religious significance. It is part of strategies to enhance religious tourism through infrastructure development, visitor services, and preservation of the site's archaeological and environmental character, thereby supporting Jordan’s reputation in Christian tourism and strengthening interfaith relations and peace.
