Bethlehem is a historic city in the Mafraq Governorate in central Jordan, located about 70 kilometers north of Amman. Although it shares its name with Bethlehem in Palestine, Bethlehem in Jordan is also steeped in history. The city is about 500 meters above sea level and is located in a semi-arid region surrounded by a landscape of rolling hills and river valleys.
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.

The local traditional bazaars and stone buildings reflect typical Jordanian rural culture.
