Jordan River
Jordan River The Jordan River meanders over a length of about 200 km between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, an actual distance of only 105 km (as the crow flies). Due to the many twists and curves, the Jordan River is not navigable. In the region shown here, the river is deeply embedded in infertile marl banks. The drawing about shows the area where John the Baptist was active. Matt 3:1–17 ; Mark 1:1–11 ; Luke 3:3–22
