Did you know? Jordan River
The Jordan River is the lowest river on Earth, flowing through the Jordan Valley which dips to approximately 1,410 feet (430 metres) below sea level at the Dead Sea.
John the Baptist is believed to have baptised Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, making it one of Christianity's holiest sites, particularly at the Baptism Site (Bethany Beyond the Jordan).
The river forms a natural border between Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Syria, and has been central to Middle Eastern geopolitics and water-sharing agreements for decades.
Despite its spiritual significance, the Jordan River is heavily depleted; it now carries only about 10% of its historical water volume due to upstream irrigation and dams.
The Baptism Site at Bethany Beyond the Jordan was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, recognising its archaeological and religious importance.
The river's name derives from the Hebrew word 'Yarden', meaning 'the descender', reflecting its dramatic flow from the Sea of Galilee downward to the Dead Sea.
