The Jordan River is a 251-kilometer river that flows through the Middle East, originating from the Mount Hermon area in southern Syria, passing through Israel, and ending in the Dead Sea. It is a significant historical and religious site for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The river is also an essential source of water for agriculture and drinking purposes in the region. The valley through which the Jordan River flows has numerous dams and reservoirs, including the Sea of Galilee, Lake Kinneret, and the Yarmouk River. These water bodies supply water to the surrounding areas, with many agricultural lands being irrigated by the river. Additionally, the Jordan River is a popular destination for tourists and recreational activities, such as rafting and kayaking. However, the river is facing significant environmental challenges, including pollution and water scarcity.

The Jordan River or River Jordan (Hebrew: נְהַר הַיַּרְדֵּן, Nahar ha-Yarden; Classical Syriac: ܢܗܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ‎, Arabic: نَهْر الْأُرْدُنّ‎, Nahr al-Urdunn; Ancient Greek: Ιορδάνης, Iordànes) is a 251-kilometre-long (156 mi) river in the Middle East that flows roughly north to south through the Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: כנרת Kinneret, Arabic: Bohayrat Tabaraya, meaning Lake of Tiberias) and on to the Dead Sea. Jordan and the Golan Heights border the river to the east, while the West Bank and Israel lie to its west. Both Jordan and the West Bank take their names from the river.
The river holds major significance in Judaism and Christianity since the Bible says that the Israelites crossed it into the Promised Land and that Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist in it.
