Amman Full Day Private Tour To Jerash and Ajloun

Get ready for an unforgettable day! Your journey begins with a visit to Jerash, one of Jordan's

most iconic attractions, second only to Petra. The ancient city of Jerash is renowned for being

one of the largest and best-preserved Roman archaeological sites outside of Italy, with a history

spanning over 6,500 years. Once a flourishing Roman provincial town known as Gerasa, Jerash

boasts impressive structures such as the South and North Theaters, the Nymphaeum, the

Colonnaded Street, the Oval Plaza, and the Hippodrome. You will also visit the Jerash

Archaeological Museum, where you can learn more about the city's rich history.

Th The second Ajloun Castle, also known as Qal'at Ar-Rabad, stands proudly atop the lush hills

of Ajloun, visible from miles around. This strategic military stronghold was built in 1184 by

Izzeldin Usama, a general under Saladin, to protect the vital trade routes from Crusader forces

during the 12th to 15th centuries. The castle's elevated position made it an ideal watch post,

and its robust architecture reflects its defensive purpose in safeguarding northern Jordan.

Lightweight, breathable clothes – comfortable for walking and warm weather.
Long pants and sleeves – protect against sun and plants while exploring ruins.
