Jerash, established by Alexander the Great in the 2nd century AD and also known as Gerasa, was among the most affluent cities in the Roman Empire. Wander through the ruins while your guide (if one is engaged) shares enthralling tales of the city’s prime. Admire the archways, amphitheaters, and the grand colonnaded street, and snap pictures of the Oval Plaza, a uniquely shaped public square, while you imagine the lives of its ancient inhabitants.

Excellent tour by Adnan if you’re short on time - I arrived in Jordan the evening before this tour with Adnan Hamdan. He kept me informed via WhatsApp on the day I arrived that he will be waiting for me outside the lobby. Upon greeting Adnan, I received a warm welcome to Jordan and he maintained a smile and great conversation the entire journey to Jerash. His knowledge of Jordan is extremely valuable and offered great insight into its history. Very personable and an all round great tour.

Wonderful day exploring Jerash - Wonderful day exploring Jerash. Hussam our guide was punctual, knowlegeable, friendly and professional. He was the perfect guide to take us to Jerash from Amman and treated us to Turkish coffee on the way. Would highly recommend him - ask for him directly, you won’t be disappointed.
