Jerash, Ajloun, and Umm Quais Full-Day Tour

Travel to Jerash, Ajloun and Umm Qais from your hotel in Amman with this, full-day chauffeur service. Start with the ruins of Jerash, a well-preserved Roman city, and then move on to Ajloun, a citadel built by military leader Saladin to defend his land. Finally see Umm Qais, the city founded by Alexander the Great, before returning to your hotel. Entrance fees to sites and lunch and dinner are not included.

Enjoy this full-day tour of Jordan’s cities with your own private chauffeur. In the morning you will leave Amman and head to Jerash, an example of a Roman provincial city in the Middle East. Visit the spectacular Roman colonnaded street, the Nymphaeum and the Temple of Artemis. Bring your camera for pictures of the ancient architecture.

Your next stop is Ajloun, the great 12th century Islamic castle built around 1184 by the famous Islamic leader Salah al-Din. Walk around the stone walls and weathered exterior of this centuries old castle. 

Then move onto Umm Qais, which belonged to the famous Decapolis, a union of 10 cities. Alexander the Great founded Umm Quais and his Greek influence can still be seen in this ancient city. From the city, you will have an overwhelming view over the north Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee.
