Overview

This tour offers a one-day journey through three significant historical periods and cultures, including Umm Qais's Hellenistic and Roman history, Ajloun Castle's medieval Islamic military architecture, and Jerash's Roman urban planning. The sites showcase different types of ruins: Jerash as a large ancient city, Umm Qais with Roman and Ottoman ruins against natural scenery, and Ajloun as a fortress. It's a highly efficient trip for limited time, combining three major northern Jordan attractions into one day. It also highlights northern Jordan's fertile, green landscape, contrasting with the desert scenery of Wadi Rum and Petra.

Activity itinerary

Amman (Pass by)

Depart from your hotel in Amman. The drive north in an air-conditioned vehicle is a key part of the tour, offering a glimpse of the changing landscapes from the urban sprawl of Amman to the green, rolling hills of the north.

Umm Qais "Jadara" A day Private Tour Enjoy The History And Stunning Scenery.

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
First Stop - Umm Qais: The tour often begins with the longest drive, heading to the northernmost site, Umm Qais (ancient Gadara). This is a strategic choice, as you can spend the morning at the site before the midday sun becomes too intense. Highlights: Umm Qais offers incredible views of the Sea of Galilee, the Golan Heights, and the Jordan Valley. You will explore the ruins of the Greco-Roman city, including the black basalt Western Theatre, a basilica, and colonnaded streets.

Ajlun Castle (Qala'at ar-Rabad)

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
After exploring Umm Qais, the tour heads south to Ajloun. The drive is scenic, passing through pine forests and olive groves. Highlights: Ajloun Castle, also known as Qal'at ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Islamic fortress built by the Ayyubid dynasty to defend against Crusader attacks. You can explore its towers, rooms, and corridors, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the top of the castle.

Jerash Ruins

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
The final and often most extensive stop is Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities in the world. Highlights: You'll walk through Hadrian's Arch, visit the Oval Plaza (Forum), and stroll along the Cardo Maximus, the main colonnaded street. Other key sites include the Temple of Artemis, the South Theatre, and the Hippodrome.

Amman (Pass by)

After the Jerash visit, you'll return to the vehicle for a one-hour drive back to Amman, concluding your full-day tour with a hotel drop-off.
