Some of the best travel experiences aren't the ones you plan down to the smallest detail. They're the ones where someone who knows the country says, “Trust me, you'll love this.” That was our experience on our one-day trip to Amman, Jerash, and Ajloun with Tour Experts — and a huge part of the reason was our driver, Anas. From the moment we met Anas, the day felt easy. He was friendly, professional, punctual, and incredibly welcoming. But what really stood out was how much he cared about making sure we experienced Jordan rather than simply completing an itinerary. We explored Amman, enjoying the contrast between the modern city and its incredible layers of history. Then we headed toward Jerash, and seeing the ancient Roman city in person was absolutely impressive. Walking among the enormous columns, streets, arches, and ruins gives you a completely different appreciation for how much history is here. After Jerash, we continued to Ajloun, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and a completely different atmosphere from the capital. But one of the biggest surprises of the day happened when Anas took us to a local restaurant he recommended. We trusted him. And we're extremely glad we did. The food was honestly some of the best we tried during our entire time in Jordan. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. It was exactly the kind of meal you hope to discover while traveling — not just somewhere to eat, but somewhere that feels connected to the place you're visiting. We probably would never have found it on our own. That is what made Anas such a great part of the experience. He didn't just drive us between the famous places. He helped us discover the Jordan that isn't always written in the guidebooks. The little recommendations, the conversations, the local insight, and the willingness to make the day feel personal made a huge difference. We never felt rushed or treated like we were simply following a schedule. Anas was patient, helpful, and always made sure we were comfortable. By the end of the day, we had seen incredible history, beautiful landscapes, enjoyed a fantastic meal, and learned things about Jordan that we wouldn't have discovered by ourselves. And honestly, that restaurant alone deserves a special mention! We came for the sightseeing and ended up talking about the food all the way back. That's how you know it was good. Thank you to Tour Experts for organizing such a great day, and especially to Anas for making the experience so enjoyable and personal. A good driver gets you where you're going. A great driver makes you want to keep exploring. Anas was definitely the second. Amman gave us the city. Jerash gave us the history. Ajloun gave us the scenery. And Anas gave us one of the best meals of our trip! If you're visiting Jordan, we highly recommend experiencing these places with someone who knows more than just the roads. Sometimes the best memories are the ones your driver suggests along the way. Fantastic day, fantastic food, and an even better experience. Thank you, Anas and Tour Experts!

Itinerary
King Abdullah Mosque
The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 meters. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers toward the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.
The Citadel
Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.
Roman Theatre
The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theater located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honor of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.
Al Balad – Downtown Amman
Visit the old city center & AL-Husseini Mosque
Ajloun Castle
Visiting the town of Ajlun with its fortress; one of the best preserved examples of medieval Arab military architecture in the entire Middle East, which was once governed by Saladin. Enjoy the magnificent view into the Jordan Valley. Proceed to visit the Greco-Roman City of Jerash, also known as the City of the thousand columns. Jerash showcases the grandeur of Imperial Rome (and is sometimes referred to as the Pompeii of the East). It is considered one of the largest, and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. As the most pristine Decapolis City (meaning ten cities in Greek) in the modern world, Jerash’s prosperity can be admired in the colonnaded main street and lovely Oval Piazza. Return to Amman. History: In 1596, during the Ottoman Empire, Ajloun was noted in the census as being located in the nahiya of Ajloun in the liwa of Ajloun. It had a population of 313 Muslim households, and 20 Muslim bachelors, in addition to 20 Christian households.
Jerash Ruins
Jerash is a Jordanian city, the capital and largest city of Jerash province. It is home to approximately 50,745 of the province's 237,000 inhabitants. Located in the north-western part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Gersh rises about 600 metres from the Sea, about 48 km from Amman, Jordan.
