The Bethlehem area of Jordan retains traces of early Christian and Islamic civilizations, and the ruins of Byzantine churches found nearby attest to its historical importance. There are also ancient cisterns and agricultural terracing systems around the city, demonstrating the water engineering techniques of the Nabataean civilization and the Roman period. The local traditional bazaars and stone buildings reflect typical Jordanian rural culture.

Today Bethlehem is an important agricultural center in Jordan, famous for olive and grape cultivation. The city's infrastructure is constantly being improved and it has become an important transportation node connecting the northern city with Amman. Visitors can experience traditional Jordanian village life and visit historical sites while enjoying the unique natural beauty of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley.
