Highlights
  • Roman Theatre - Travel north to Jerash by air-conditioned coach. Having spent roughly one hour on the road, arrive in town and set off to explore the incredible Roman ruins that lie within the ancient city boundaries.
    On foot, enter through the main city gate and gaze in wonder at the sprawling site spread before you. Founded by Alexander the Great in the 2nd century, Jerash - or Gerasa as it was formerly known - went on to become one of the wealthiest Decapolis cities of the Roman Empire. Today, the city’s lavish ruins of amphitheaters, arches, and colonnades hark back to Jerash’s Imperial-era grandeur.
    See the Oval Plaza, a forum named for its intriguing shape, and amble down the famous colonnaded street, stopping to take photos by some of the many sights. Pass temples and theaters, and hear historical tales aplenty about the city in its glory days from your guide.
    A local English Speaking Guide is an available information site (optional). The guides are provided by the Authority of Jerash.

Great way to see Jerash from Amman - Yousif was an awesome driver - friendly, informative, excellent English. I'm glad I booked this service. Dealing with taxi to and from would have been stressful. Highly recommend.

Great experience - Amazing half day trip to Jerash with our friendly guide and driver Mr Mohammad Bardaghawi. He was right on time in the morning, very communicative, great English and very well organized. We realized that there is no way we would have been able to get so much from a half day on our own. The ratio value/price is simply great and we would book again a tour in Jordan with Mr. Bardaghawi.

Very Satisfied customer - When we travel, we tend to choose not to have a tour guide because we enjoy touring on our terms and at our own pace. However, upon hearing about the challenging driving conditions and the lack of a public transportation system in Amman, we decided to hire a private transportation service. This decision turned out to be a game-changer. Our driver,Ali, was not only incredibly informative and knowledgeable, but he also ensured our safety and expedited our journeys from point A to B. He dropped off at the site and waited for us outside so we could enjoy our time on our terms. One memorable moment stands out : I asked about the local delicacy Kunafa, not only did he explain its significance, but he also took us to a renowned local spot where we savored the best Kunafa and sugar cane juice in town. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that left a lasting impression on us. I can’t recommend our tour guide highly enough. Amid the chaos of the city’s traffic and the often-unpredictable driving habits, his services proved invaluable. If given the chance, I would not hesitate to hire him again. Thanks to his dedication and expertise and make the most of our travel experience.

Great tour and wonderful guide!! - Mohammad Bardaghawi was a wonderful guide for us on our first day in Amman. Mohammad was prompt with our hotel pickup in the morning and made our time with him relaxed and enjoyable. We were able to learn about Amman and Jordan from him and found him to be full of information as he answered all our questions. We found the sites to be very interesting to explore and having Mohammad as our guide made the entire day easier.

Amman & Jerash, same day tour - Mohammad Bardaghawi was an exceptional driver. Highly knowledgeable in Amman and Jerash. He knows many locals and have great recommendations from sweets to snacks to food. Ride to Jerash was pleasant. He made accommodations to stop by the Blue Mosque. This wasn’t guided tour, just the riding portion. There were PLENTY of time at each site on my own for SOLO tour with the liberty of comfortable ride in between the sites & the cities. When I return back to Jordan, I will definitely reach out to Mohammad Bardaghawi and his company for future tour arrangements!
