Tour Itinerary of Jerash, Ajloun Castle and Um Qais Day Tour from Amman :
Pick up from any Hotel or Location in Amman, and transfer 48 km north of Amman to visit Jerash, which is nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead.
It is the grandeur of Imperial Rome being one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. Its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theaters, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates are exceptional. In Jerash you will visit Hadrian’s Arch, Oval Plaza, The Cathedral, The North & South Theater, and The Nymphaeum.
Then transfer a short distance through a beautiful pine-forest and olive groves, reaching the city of Ajloun, here you will find Al-Rabid Castle; the 12th century Castle built by one of Saladin’s lieutenants in the campaign against the Crusaders.
Then to Umm Qais, which belonged to the famous Decapolis, a union of 10 cities, founded by Alexander the Great. Here you have a great view over the north Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee.
You will be transferred back to your hotel in Amman.
