In October 2019 we visited Jordan. We went by bus from Amman in the North to Aqaba in the South. On the road we visited many historical, archeological and holy sites. We looked over the "The Promised Land" from the same spot where Moses stood. We visited Jesu's baptism site at the Jordan River, and we bathed in the Dead Sea. On this home page we present some of our photos. Click on the individual pictures for seeing them in full size. |
