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.
