Begin your private tour with a pick-up from your hotel, travel by comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Jerash with your own private English-speaking driver who is also your guide.
Wander among the original temples, theaters, plazas, paths and colonnaded streets, all enclosed within the remaining city walls. Within the city walls, have been found the remains of settlements dating from the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad, and Abbasid periods, indicating human occupation at this location for more than 2,500 years.
This ancient city was one of the most prosperous in the Roman Empire, and was covered by sand for centuries until its remnants were discovered in 1806. Head through the ancient city gate and walk around the well-preserved ruins as your guide tells you tales about the city in its heyday. Admire its arches, theaters, and elegant colonnaded street. Snap photos of the stunning Oval Plaza, the Temples of Zeus and Artemis, as well as the intriguing egg-shaped public square framed by standing columns, and continue to Ajloun Castle. Head inside this semi-intact hilltop fortress, roam the rambling corridors and staircases. You'll also see murder holes used by the invaders, and stunning views over the lush hills of the Jordan Valley.
