Private Tour to Jerash and Ajloun from Amman

1. Private Tour to Jerash and Ajloun from Amman

Begin your private tour with a pick-up from your central Amman hotel, and travel by comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Jerash with your own private English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide. Wander among the original temples, theaters, plazas, paths and colonnaded streets, all enclosed within the remaining city walls. Within the city walls have been found the remains of settlements dating from the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad, and Abbasid periods; indicating human occupation at this location for more than 2,500 years. A local English-Speaking Guide will be included for your classic 2 hours visit of this Roman Decapolis City of Jerash. This ancient city was one of the most prosperous in the Roman Empire, and was covered by sand for centuries until its remnants were discovered in 1806. Head through the ancient city gate and walk around the well-preserved ruins as your guide tells you tales about the city in its heyday. See its arches, theaters, and elegant colonnaded street. Snap photos of the stunning Oval Plaza, the Temples of Zeus and Artemis, as well as the intriguing egg-shaped public square framed by standing columns. Having explored here, continue to the 12th-century Castle of Ajloun, built in the time of Saladin to defend against Crusader armies. Head inside this semi-intact hilltop fortress, roam the rambling corridors and staircases. See the murder holes used by the invaders, and admire the stunning views over the lush hills of the Jordan Valley from the towers. Then, reconvene with your vehicle and relax on your long ride back to Amman where your trip ends with a hotel drop off.

An excellent opportunity to see Jordan's countryside. One unique part of our trip was the opportunity to over look The Golan Heights and Syria. Jerash was fascinating and provides the opportunity to walk the city and get a sense of the grandeur and way of life of these citizens. Our driver, Mohammad, was prompt, courteous, a safe driver and knowledgeable. Bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to take spectacular pictures. A great way to see the countryside.

Very worthwhile places to visit, very good tours provided by the operator R&H VIP Transportation Services, very good driver who added a lot of value to the tour. Value for money tour, and should not be missed.

Absolutely amazing place! Ali, the driver, was courteous, punctual and an excellent driver. The guide in Jarash, Husni, had amazing knowledge of the history and archeology of Jaresh. What a delight!

Our driver was amazing! Very helpful with location information and waited for us patiently as we really took our time at each site we visited.

Great tour would recommend. Ali Alaqrabawi was a really good and friendly driver.
