Highlights
- Ajlun Castle (Qala’at ar-Rabad) - The marvels of nature and the genius of medieval Arab military architecture have given northern Jordan two of the most important ecological and historical attractions in the Middle East: the sprawling pine forests of the Ajlun-Dibbine area, and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajlun, which helped to defeat the Crusaders eight centuries ago. Locals often take advantage of the green landscapes of Ajlun to take a break from city life and connect with nature.
- Jerash Ruins - Jerash is an amazing blend of Greco-Roman and Oriental influences. A great place to visit during the spring with its beautiful rolling hills and lush greenery, Jerash has a rhythm not seen anywhere else in Jordan. Also, every year Jerash hosts the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts, a three-week summer program filled with folk dance, music, and theatrical performances.

Excellent Experience - We had a wonderful time throughout our entire vacation. Our priorities guided the thorough planning of the vacation, and the excursion to the north of Jordan was scheduled for this day. The efficiency with which everything was organized and the warmth of the Jordanians surprised me. I suggest it to anybody going to Jordan!

AMAZING! - We visited the most well-preserved castle, Ajloun. It needed more time to explore Jerash's enormous ruins. A person won't be able to appreciate the Roman Empire's ruins as much as someone who has never there, whether they are in Italy or Turkey. It is preferable to have a guide if you are seeing Roman ruins for the first time. You must haggle over the price with them before the trip begins because they are right at the door. To determine their language proficiency, discuss it with your language counselor.

Extremely fantastic - Ahmad was a terrific driver for us; he was amiable, knowledgeable, and helpful. When we got to Jerash, he made arrangements for a private guide, and that tour was likewise excellent. The view from Ajlun was stunning. I do suggest taking this tour.

Private tour of Jerash and Ajloun - Excellent driver and good conversation for the hour long trip from Amman.. Emad was the best! Very polite and accommodating. The car was clean and he provided wifi to me plus has a way for me to charge my telephone. He knows the city very well and all the roads.
Emad gave me all the time I needed at each site and even stopped along the road to let me take a selfie. Very nice guy! You can trust him and be comfortable with him. You are safe in his hands. He has instance too and is official guide and driver.

Jerash visit - We choosed to visit Jerash for our last day in Jordan before leaving.
The hotel (Locanda Boutique, Amman) arranged for us the trip by private taxi. The driver, named Imad, was very polite, on time, and helpful. He didn't hurry us, on the contrary he gave us more time than we needed. The archeological site was very beautiful, i reccomand both the visit and the driver company.

Daily visit of Jerash - Our hotel in Amman suggested us this company for a daily visit to the archeological site of Jerash. Everything was very good with the trip and visit, and we particularly enjoyed the experience thanks to our driver Imad, who was kind, friendly and perfectly on time.
Jerash is absolutely lovely and we really enjoyed the view of the hills and villages along the route.
We suggest this experience to other tourists visiting this beautiful area of Jordan.
