محافظة البلقاء's Absolute Essentials

Balqa Governorate spans from the historic hills of As-Salt down to the lowest point on Earth at the Dead Sea. The region is home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bethany-beyond-the-Jordan, the traditional location of Jesus' baptism, and Elijah’s Hill. Along the Dead Sea coast, the area features international luxury resorts, the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre, and the King Hussein Bridge, a major transit point between Jordan and the West Bank.
