Highlights
  • Jerash Ruins - Following pickup, your first stop will be at Jerash, located about an hour north from the city center of Amman and considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside of Italy. Jerash, conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC, fell under Roman rule and was one of the 10 greatest Roman cities.

Once in Jerash, your driver will assist you to prepare your entry and book a private local guide (optional, at own expense). You will have the opportunity to explore the colonnaded streets, baths, theaters, plazas, and arches of Jerash. There will be a lot of walking, but it will be well worth the stroll, so make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes on the day of the tour.

  • Ajlun Castle (Qala’at ar-Rabad) - Next, you will be driven to Ajloun Castle, which was built in 1184 AD by one of Saladin’s generals. The castle became important in the defense against the Crusaders. The castle is one of the best-preserved examples of Medieval Arab-Islamic military architecture. The Castle tour is a walking tour on your own. After Ajloun Castle, you will meet your driver at the entrance. Your tour will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel or accommodation.

Jerash and Ajloun castle - Our driver contacted me the night before to advise me about pickup time, then again the morning of our trip. He was very punctual, and offered us water and the WiFi password. We went to the castle which was very interesting, with fabulous views, then he took us to Jerash, offering a stop for lunch but we didn’t need it. Jerash was amazing and took us around a couple of hours to cover. On the way back he pointed out some interesting landmarks before dropping us back to the hotel. All in all a very good experience.

Jerash and Ajloun Castle - Our driver Adnan Hamdan provided us with excellent service. He was on time picking us up. He gave us information on Jordan as he drove. When we finished touring each site he was waiting for us. If you are coming to Jordan you don't want to miss Jerash and Ajloun Castle. The northern part of Jordan is very different from southern Jordan. The tour operator was R & H VIP Transportation Services.

Lovely day with Adnan - We had the pleasure of being driven by Adnan on our trip to Jerash and Ajloun Castle. He contacted us the night before to touch base and was early to pick us up in the morning. His car was clean and comfortable with water and wifi. First stop was Ajloun where we spent 45mins. Next was Jerash where we were allowed 2hrs. Jerash is a hot site so take the water Adnan offers. Lots of hawkers here. (Be aware). Adnan was friendly and safe driver. Recommend

Loved Jere’s! Would skip the castle next time. - Our driver Hosam was excellent. He was cheerful and very organized. After a long day we just wanted a pizza for lunch and he found a great local bakery that made delicious pizza and sweets. Highly recommend riding with Hosam!
