The actors, who co-starred in Baz Luhrmann's 2008 film Australia, attended the baptism of Grace, eight, and Chloe, six, the media mogul's daughters with his third wife, Wendi Deng. The ceremony took place beside the River Jordan at what is traditionally believed to be the baptism site of Jesus Christ.
Following the baptism, Queen Rania of Jordan invited Jackman, Kidman, the Murdochs, Kidman's husband Keith Urban and Ivanka Trump for a three-day tour of the country. The group visited Jordan's best-known tourist sites, including Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.
