Umm Qais - Ajloun Castle - Jerash
- Meet the tour guide at the airport (or hotel or any other desired location) and head to Umm Qais. Our visit to Umm Qais will last for about 1 hr 30 minutes. Umm Qais is the capital of Gilead, sitting at the summit of Umm Qais Mountains, comfortably overlooking the Golan Heights on the Syrian side and the Sea of Galilei on the west side of it.
- See the beauty of the Sea of Galilei glowing under the sun like a silver plate. Stunning is what it is! See the church, fountains, baths, and the adjacent mountains to the south with the Roman olive trees as old as time and the unworldly views from Jesus's cave.
- Drive through the Jordan Valley for an hour to get to the castle of Ajloun. The castle visit will take about an hour. You will see the views from the top of the castle with the evergreen landscape and the amazingly maintained waterways, and maybe some of that northern pine-scented breeze to make you feel new as rain!
- After that, we will drive about 40 minutes to get to Jerash. Our visit to Jerash will last for 2 hours. Jerash is the most preserved Roman site. Antioch, Pompeii of the East, whatever name you choose, the city with 1000 pillars is an apple to the eye. If you think you have been amazed by Rome, this is a place that's more Roman and thus more amazing!
- Head back to Amman to your chosen drop-off spot.
