Jerash, Ajloun & Umm Qais

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.

Get ready for an unforgettable visit to Umm Qais, a key city of the ancient Decapolis, a league of 10 cities founded by Alexander the Great. From this site, you’ll be treated to breath-taking views of the northern Jordan Valley, making it one of the most scenic spots in the region.
