★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · from $106Our pick

Travel from Amman to Jerash in a private air-conditioned vehicle, then walk through Roman temples, theaters, plazas, and colonnaded streets with a local English-speaking guide. The route can suit your interests, and you may add a cooking class in a local restaurant. Guides have included Bader, Basel, Khalid, Zahir, and Dr. Sam.

“This tour to Jarash proved to be marvelous. Bassam Jebreen came on time to pick me up in my hotel and off we went to Jarash. The trip from Amman to Jarash took about 45 minutes but it is worth the travel especially once you arrived the ancient Roman ruins of Jarash. I would highly recommend people to take this trip for its historical value.”
