Uncover the rich layers of Jordan’s ancient and medieval history on a day tour to Jerash and Ajloun — two of the country’s most iconic northern sites.
Start your journey in Jerash, often called the “Pompeii of the East.” Walk through its remarkably preserved Roman ruins, including the Oval Plaza, Cardo Maximus, and the majestic South Theater, where ancient chariots once raced and orators spoke to crowds.
Continue to the lush highlands of Ajloun, where the mighty Ajloun Castle stands guard over rolling hills and olive groves. Built in the 12th century by the armies of Saladin, the fortress offers not only a glimpse into Islamic military architecture but also sweeping views of the Jordan Valley.
This day trip is a perfect blend of ancient grandeur and natural beauty — an unforgettable experience just a short drive from Amman.
