Great day trip to Jerash - Had a nice day trip from Amman to Jerash with Adnan as our driver. He gave us helpful tips and pointed out places of interest along the drive. He speaks English very well and was very pleasant to spend the day with. Jerash, Umm Qais and the castle were all great places to visit.

Wonderful Drive to Jerash Ajloun and Umm Qais - Had a wonderful experience with my Driver Wael, he was patient and helped arrange the best guides when we got to the location. Wael is very nice, punctual and has a lot of knowledge about Roman history and architecture which was wonderful to discuss with him on my way to Jersash. I felt like I was talking to an old friend. Thank you Wael for the wonderful experience.

Pics of a lifetime - To say we were left breathless after our trip to Jerash and Ajloun Castle is an understatement. To begin with our driver was professional, knowledgeable, and relaxed with time. He’d give us the background of the site and then allow us the time we needed tonight explore and take tons of pictures. Everywhere we visited there was awesome architecture, time-defying ruins, beautiful photo opportunities, and friendly local vendors/photographers.

A pretty comprehensive package - The driver, Mohammad, picked me up on time from my hotel at the Dead Sea. We didn't take the expected route as it was somewhat of a rainy day and apparently the original route would have been affected by rain. So we went via Amman. On the way there we talked about my stay so far and the things I had seen. He suggested we could add Amman sights to the trip for an extra fee. I pretty was sceptical at first but the fee was comparatively small and it did indeed pay off to add Amman to the programme. We stopped by the common sights, the King Abdullah I Mosque, the Amman Citadel and the Roman Theatre. We even had some typically Ammani snack along the way. I believe it was called Kunafa - some sort of goat cheese with caramel. After that we went to Jerash and Ajloun. Jerash is definitely worth seeing. I was surprised to learn how big it actually was. It did take some time to see all the sights. Prepare to walk a lot here. Then we went to Ajloun which I found less impressive than Jerash but still nice enough to visit. If you have seen a few castles in your life, this is simply "yet another one". After Ajloun, we drove back to the hotel, had a shawarma along the way and a little photo session at a water dam. To me, what made this trip actually worthwhile were the "little things". I really appreciated how we stopped for water and coffee along the way multiple times between the different sights. We even had figs from some street seller near Ajloun. The driver told me all kinds of things about Jordan which I found really interesting to hear. He was genuinely making an effort to turn the trip into an experience. If you want a driver that does more than simply drop you off at the sights, Mohammad is your guy. The only real downside of the trip (and primary reason for the 4 stars instead of 5) is that you kind of have to go through souvenir stores and people really try hard to sell stuff to you. I always made it clear that I wasn't interested but they still tried and looked at me as if I had killed their cat after declining their offers multiple times. I know that this is common in Jordan (and other Arab countries) but I still found it annoying and somewhat off-putting. Overall, I can recommend the trip. Just be sure you bring enough cash. Credit cards aren't really accepted anywhere.
