Amman and Jerash tour
Full-day chauffeur-driven private car excursion from Amman
This tour covers some of the most well-known historical sites in Amman as well as one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world – Jerash.
The tour begins with a visit to the Citadel. Towering above downtown Amman, the Citadel is the site of ancient Rabbath-Ammon and excavations here have revealed numerous Roman and early Islamic remains.
You then proceed to the Roman Theatre, an imposing monument set into the side of the mountain, which can seat 6,000 people and is still used for performances today.
Our next visit is the National Archaeological Museum, which houses an excellent collection of antiquities, including the famous Copper Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Drive on to the ancient city of Jerash, acknowledged internationally as one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world. Hidden for centuries in the sand, Jerash reveals a fine example of the grand, formal provincial Roman urbanism comprising paved and colonnaded streets, hilltop temples, theatres, public squares and plazas and city walls.
