Entry to the Baptism site includes a one-hour guided tour (in seven languages) and shuttle-bus service which departs every 30 minutes to the main complex, close to the sensitive border with Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Collect a brochure and map at the main gate, where there are toilets and a few desultory souvenir shops. The flies here can be of plague proportions in spring so bring repellent, along with a hat since the site is very exposed.
