With temps soaring to about 115 degrees, we viewed the cracked, parched remains of a river bed where John the Baptist is said to have baptised Jesus. The remaining Jordan River is a green, brackish line of water with the border of the West Bank literally a stone's throw away. While we dunked our hands in the river on one side, a barbed military fence bordered the river's west bank. Israel and the Palestinian territories lay behind the fence.
