Itinerary
Stop 1
Depart from your hotel in Amman. The drive north in an air-conditioned vehicle is a key part of the tour, offering a glimpse of the changing landscapes from the urban sprawl of Amman to the green, rolling hills of the north.
Stop 2
The tour heads North to Ajloun. The drive is scenic, passing through pine forests and olive groves. Highlights: Ajloun Castle, also known as Qal'at ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Islamic fortress built by the Ayyubid dynasty to defend against Crusader attacks. You can explore its towers, rooms, and corridors, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the top of the castle.
Stop 3
The final and often most extensive stop is Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities in the world. Highlights: You'll walk through Hadrian's Arch, visit the Oval Plaza (Forum), and stroll along the Cardo Maximus, the main colonnaded street. Other key sites include the Temple of Artemis, the South Theatre, and the Hippodrome.
Stop 4
After the Jerash visit, you'll return to the vehicle for a one-hour drive back to Amman, concluding your full-day tour with a hotel drop-off.
