Private Half Day Jerash and Amman City Sightseeing Tour

Amman, Jordan

You will leave your Amman Hotel and head to Jerash - the most complete and well preserved city of the Roman Empire. Nestled in a green and well-watered valley in the biblical land of Gilead, the remains of the ancient city have long attracted tourists from all around the world.

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.

Visit Amman's downtown market and city center, it's traditional souks, coffee shops, restaurants selling local food and sweets, churches and mosques amongst other popular places.

Amman is also the ancient city of Philadelphia with its Roman Theater and many other monuments such as the Citadel. You will pass by the Late King Hussein Palace, where he is buried, then drive to the other side of the city where you can see the beautiful houses made of white stones of the higher class in Abdoun.

You will have time to sample the delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. The tour provides the tempting option to experience Arabic cuisine in the form of Meza, including a tasty variety of Arabic dishes, salads, bread, and barbecue, usually chicken and beef. If you would like to include lunch on this tour, please select the option when booking.

A local English Speaking Guide will be included for 2 hours in Jerash. The guides are provided by the Authority of Jerash under the Ministry of Tourism.

This is a private tour so please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at time of booking to alert our driver, so that he or she can better prepare for your private tour.

The driver picked us up on time and spoke good English. We loved Jerash and had a good guide, loved the chariot race and Roman legion show. I felt that everytime we passed something interesting in Amman our driver was on his cell phone. I guess they have 2 jobs.

We travelled throughout the Middle East and thought these were among the best preserved Roman ruins we saw. The gladiator show is billed as the only one actually held in a real hippodrome--extra charge. DO note that the driver is NOT your guide, and if you want a guide you will need to be prepared to pay a fee. Our driver selected an excellent guide for us. Not much to see in Amman City, however, so you might want to do that on your own.
