Join us on a breathtaking full-day tour to explore the ancient wonders and natural beauty of northern Jordan. This immersive journey takes you through three iconic historical sites, offering a blend of Roman ruins, medieval castles, and scenic views.
Step into the Heart of Ancient Rome in the Middle East.
Jerash is one of the most impressive and well-preserved Roman cities outside of Italy. During your visit, you’ll walk through history, exploring a city that thrived over 2,000 years ago.
Jerash is more than just a series of ruins; it’s a vivid window into the past, offering travelers the chance to walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors, soldiers, and citizens. This experience is a must for history lovers and anyone fascinated by ancient civilizations.
As soon as you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the monumental gateway built in honor of Emperor Hadrian’s visit in AD 129. This majestic arch sets the stage for the grandeur of Jerash.
Imagine the roar of the crowds as chariots raced around this ancient stadium. You’ll explore the Hippodrome, where Jerash’s citizens gathered for sports and entertainment.
A unique feature of Jerash, this massive, colonnaded oval plaza is one of the most stunning structures in the ancient city.
The town of Ajloun is known for its majestic 12th-century Islamic castle, built by one of Saladin’s generals during the Crusades. This site offers a unique blend of history and nature, making it a captivating destination for travelers interested in Jordan’s medieval past.
Your journey begins with a visit to the imposing Ajloun Castle, perched high on a hill overlooking the surrounding valleys. This castle was strategically built in 1184 to protect the region from Crusader invasions and control trade routes leading to the Jordan Valley.
Inside the castle, you’ll find a small museum displaying artifacts from the Islamic and Byzantine periods. Your guide will share the fascinating history of the castle’s construction, its military significance, and how it was later expanded by the Ayyubids and Mamluks.
With its commanding hilltop location, Ajloun Castle provides excellent opportunities for panoramic landscape photography. Capture stunning shots of the rolling green hills, and landscapes.
Umm Qais, known in ancient times as Gadara, is one of Jordan's most captivating archaeological sites. Perched on a hilltop with sweeping views of the surrounding region, Umm Qais offers a unique combination of ancient ruins and natural beauty, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
Your visit to Umm Qais begins with a journey back in time to the Decapolis city of Gadara, an important cultural and intellectual center during the Roman Empire. As you explore this site, you’ll encounter well-preserved structures from the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods.
One of the highlights of Umm Qais is the black basalt Roman theater, beautifully carved into the hillside. You’ll be able to sit in the same seats where ancient spectators once watched performances, and your guide will explain the significance of this theater in Roman society.
Umm Qais is not just about ruins – it’s famous for its spectacular views. From the hilltop
