Amazing Experience!
What a great day with Mohammad! He gave us a lot of background about Jordan during our drive and arranged a great guide for us at Jerash. The car was modern, clean, and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for anyone interested in a day seeing the sights of northern Jordan.

Great trip with a great driver
Our tour was very smooth without any problems. Our driver, Yousef was great. He was waiting for us at our hotel in very nice clean car. We had good conversations on the drives. Yousef gave us great hints about each site on the way and even gave us some history about each site we visited.. The order of sites was also perfect with us ending at Jerash which was huge and picturesque.

Good communication for hotel pickup, clean car, full days tour and all stops were worth it. Guide was nice, flexible and shared some additional tidbits throughout the day. Perfect tour for quick trip from Amman or when cant rent a car.

An Unforgettable Journey with Abu Farah
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our driver Abu Farah on our trip to Ajloun and Jerash. From the very beginning, he made us feel incredibly welcome, comfortable, and at ease.
Abu Farah is extremely knowledgeable and has a deep passion for history. Our conversations throughout the journey were genuinely enjoyable, enriched with fascinating historical insights and stories that made the trip even more meaningful. His ability to speak five languages is truly impressive and made communication effortless and smooth.
What really stood out was his kindness and generosity. He was very flexible when we had changes in our plans and handled everything with such a positive attitude and a warm smile. He never made us feel rushed and always prioritized our comfort and enjoyment.
Such a sweet, respectful, and amazing person — Abu Farah didn’t just drive us, he truly elevated our entire experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Jordan and looking for a driver who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic Views!
Umm Qais has amazing views. The Roman ampi theater is very well preserved.
The Aljun castle in my opinion can be skipped. I think I would have prefer to have a slower lunch or maybe tea somewhere and have more time in Jerash.
Jerash was definitely my favorite. This is the kind of stuff you see in history books.

Awesome trip!
I had a really fantastic time with Mohammed seeing Jerash and Ajloun! My trip was seamless, he’s an awesome guide and I even learned some Arabic! Would 100% recommend this tour!

Great day trip from Amman
Bader was an absolutely fantastic guide for our trip to Umm Qais and Jerash. He was communicative, incredibly helpful, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He went the extra mile to make sure we all (especially our 5-year old daughter) had a great experience. Even in the rain, Umm Qais and Jerash were still both amazing.

Great tour. Well...
Great tour. Well organized. Our guide Adnan was great. He even bought tea for us in the morning with his own money.

Reliable and professional service
I enjoyed my trip to Jerash with Ahmad. He was excellent from start to finish. He contacted me ahead of the pickup to introduce himself and confirm everything, arrived early but was patient and never made me feel rushed, and the ride itself was smooth and safe. Great communication and a very professional experience. And Jerash is a must see! Highly recommend!

Great experience north Jordan
Best driver for covering north Jordan, very generous and well understanding of the area covered 3 sites. N enjoyed the experiences ... the tour guide u will require to book from the site itself not covered just for info.

Great Hassle-free Day Trip!
An incredible day trip. Jerash is phenomenal and Umm Qais/Al Joun are great warm ups. Shadi, our driver, was helpful, courteous and very informative. This would have been a stressful drive and difficult day if we had done it ourselves but he made it an easy, memorable day! Hugely recommend the tour and Shadi if you’re on the fence.

Though it’s not as well known as Jerash, Gadara is a must for history buffs.
Umm Qais is close to both Syria and Israel, so check your government’s travel advice before booking a tour.
At the Gadara site, the Umm Qais Resthouse offers not only sweeping views over the ruins and the Middle East but excellent seasonal cuisine.
