Bethany Beyond the Jordan is a significant historical and religious site located in Sowayma, Jordan. It is believed to be the place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. The site is also known as Bethabara, which means "house of the crossing" in Aramaic.
The area is a natural oasis with lush vegetation and a flowing river, making it an ideal location for baptisms. The site features several ancient ruins, including a Byzantine-era church, baptismal pools, and a monastery. The church was built in the 5th century and is believed to be the oldest church in Jordan.

The pools are fed by the Jordan River and are still used for baptisms today.
