Activity itinerary

Um Qais

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The archaeological site of Umm Qais offers visitors a chance to explore a rich tapestry of history. Roman Theatres: The ruins of two Roman theatres constitute a significant highlight. The main (western) theatre is imposing, with its black basalt stone construction. Colonnaded Street: A well-preserved colonnaded street, the Decumanus Maximus, showcases the city's Roman urban planning. Basilica Terrace: This area contains the remains of a Byzantine church built over an earlier Roman mausoleum, demonstrating the site's long history of religious and cultural change. Umm Qais Museum: Located in one of the restored Ottoman houses, the museum displays artefacts from the Hellenistic, Roman, and Islamic periods. Panoramic Views: One of the most compelling aspects of visiting Umm Qais is the breathtaking scenery. From the hilltop, you can see the Sea of Galilee, the Yarmouk River, and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights

Ajloun Castle

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The castle is located on a hilltop above the town of Ajloun in northwestern Jordan, approximately 75 km northwest of Amman. A Fortified Structure: The castle's original design included four main towers and a moat. Later expansions added more towers and a gate with a drawbridge. You can explore the various rooms, corridors, and staircases that make up the labyrinthine interior. The Museum: A small museum inside the castle houses a collection of artefacts from various periods of its history. Panoramic Views: One of the most rewarding aspects of a visit is the stunning panoramic view from the castle's battlements. On a clear day, you can see the Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee, and the surrounding forested hills.

Jerash is a vast archaeological site needing hours to explore, with main roads connecting key attractions. Hadrian's Arch: A grand triple-arched gate honouring Emperor Hadrian.
