Jerash (Gerasa)

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Jordan north of Amman. I requested to not visit Ajloun Castle for more time at Umm Qais. The tour company accommodated and gave me plenty of time at both Umm Qais and Jerash. I had plenty of time to explore both locations and did not feel rushed. We stopped outside Jerash and enjoyed some local food. I will be using this company when returning to Jordan.

Good driver and guide in Jerash was excellent. We loved Jerash. So much interesting history. Other 2 sites also worth while.

We has an excellent time with Mohammed who not only drove us between sites but also helped us get breakfast on the road and showed us the local cuisine over a fantastic lunch. The sites themselves are large and well preserved with Jerash as the real highlight. Make sure you allow enough time (at least couple of hours) to really explore Jerash especially if it's the last stop.

Private drivers are the way to go. You get to see each location at your own pace, and in between locations get to engage in conversation with the english-speaking driver.

Our driver for this tour was great and really flexible - he allowed us to stay at each site as long as we wanted. Umm Qais itself, though, was laid out strangely and it was hard to find the entrance once you're inside the site. Probably skippable. That said, Ajloun and Jerash were both fantastic and highly recommended. Having a friendly driver with good English was a very easy way to get around.

Wonderful tour. Our guide Raed Allabadi, was very knowledge of the sites and history of Jordan. Excellent service and attention. We Could not have asked for a better ambassador for the Jordan.

All the three sites we visited are well worth seeing and the driving in between gives a good feel for the country to the north of Amman. Our driver was efficient and responsive to the needs of the party. Time at each site was quite short. Jerash on its own could take a full day. So book a different tour if you want that, but this is a good taster tour of this area of Jordan.
