Description

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.

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.

AMAZING DAY

I had an amazing fay with Mr Bardaghawi. He is a very good driver & guide. We went to the northeast & northwest of Jordan. He even brought me to her brother's home for tea & biscuits. We had alot of conversations about life, Jordan history & Jordan life. He is very knowledgeable. I recommend anyone traveling through this area to ask for him. Shane

Great Day Trip

Bardaghawi was great. Very friendy and professional, and made sure I was well taken care of. Jerash was beautiful, with lots to explore. Ajloun castle was neat to explore. Unfortunately, the rainy weather affected my enjoyment of Uum Quais, so I can't really say whether I would recommend it or not. If you can only visit one, choose Jerash!

Operator response

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted that Bardaghawi made sure you felt well taken care of throughout your tour. We're glad you enjoyed exploring Jerash and Ajloun, and appreciate your honest comments about Umm Qais—sometimes the weather does make a difference! Your recommendation of Jerash as a must-see is spot on. We hope to welcome you back to Jordan again, hopefully with better weather next time!
