Overview

See three of northern Jordan's highlights in one easy day, with a private car and an English-speaking driver just for your group. There are no other travelers and no fixed group schedule, so you can spend more time where you like.

Start at Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, then visit the hilltop Ajloun Castle, built in the 12th century to defend against the Crusaders. Finish at Umm Qais (ancient Gadara), where you can look out over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights.

Pickup and drop-off are at your hotel in Amman, and the car has air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and bottled water. Pay the entrance fees on site or use your Jordan Pass, which covers Jerash.
