Jerash is one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities in the world, its colonnaded streets, amphitheaters, and temples remarkably intact just north of Amman.
Half-Day Tour from Amman
A half-day tour covers Jerash’s main ruins – the Oval Plaza, Cardo Maximus, and South Theater – with round-trip transport from Amman.
Full-Day Jerash & Ajloun Tour
A full-day tour adds Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century Islamic fortress in the wooded hills nearby, extending the trip into the afternoon.
Is Adding Ajloun Castle Worth It?
Ajloun Castle offers a completely different historical period and a scenic hillside setting, making it a worthwhile addition if you have the full day available.
