What a wonderful journey through the heart of Jordan! Our day exploring Amman and the ancient city of Jerash was filled with fascinating discoveries, beautiful scenery, and moments we'll remember for years to come. Amman welcomed us with its unique charm, where modern life meets thousands of years of history. Every corner had a story to tell, and every stop offered something special. And Jerash? Simply breathtaking! Walking through this incredible ancient Roman city, surrounded by magnificent columns, impressive arches, and historic ruins, felt like travelling back in time. It's one of those places that leaves you speechless and makes you appreciate the incredible history of this country. But what made the day even more enjoyable was our fantastic driver, Ali! ⭐ Ali was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire experience. Friendly, respectful, professional, and always making sure everything went smoothly. His welcoming personality, helpful attitude, and genuine hospitality made us feel relaxed and comfortable from beginning to end. A great driver can make a good day better, but Ali made an already beautiful experience truly special! If you're planning to visit Jordan, make sure Amman and Jerash are on your itinerary. And if you have the chance to travel with Ali, you're definitely in good hands! Thank you, Ali, for the smiles, the excellent service, and the beautiful memories. Jordan is lucky to have people like you representing its hospitality! Five stars for the experience, a thousand stars for the memories! Highly recommended

Itinerary
The blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, built in the 1980s by the late King Hussein as a memorial to his grandfather, is open to Non-Muslim visitors. The nave with an area of 1,615 m2 has the capacity to house 3,000 worshippers. It is octogonal and distiguished for not having pillars inside. Its dome of 35 m in diameter has a height of 31 meters. A source of radiation was placed in the middle taking the form of a golden star culminating in the Ninety Nine Most Beautiful Names of Allah surrounding the dome's neck. The suspended chandelier of 168 lanterns consists of three circles with the Holy Quranic Verse with the word Allah recurring on every lantern. The fertile land is expressed in the form of a red carpet made of an ornamental textile of recurring patterns meant to direct worshippers toward the Kiblah. All the walls, including the Kiblah, the pulpit, and the Mihrab are panelled with wooden and marble oriels.
Jabal al-Qala is one of the seven mountains of Amman, which the Ammonians have long taken as the seat of their rule in the city, followed by Greece, romans and Byzantines who occupied the city respectively until it was occupied by the Islamic conquest in the 7th century AD, where the Umayyad Palace was built on its top. Mount Qalaa in Amman emerged as the capital of the Ammonians.
The Roman Amphitheatre is a Roman theater located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital Amman, precisely at the foot of Mount Jufa on one of the hills opposite Amman Castle. Greek writing on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honor of Emperor Antonius Pius, who visited Amman in 130 AD.

Jerash is an amazing blend of Greco-Roman and Oriental influences. A great place to visit during the spring with its beautiful rolling hills and lush greenery, Jerash has a rhythm not seen anywhere else in Jordan. Also, every year Jerash hosts the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts, a three week summer program filled with folk dance, music, and theatrical performances.

We had an amazing one-day trip exploring Amman and the beautiful ancient city of Jerash! The sights were incredible, the history was fascinating, and everything was well organized. It was a memorable experience and a perfect way to discover Jordan’s culture and heritage. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Jordan
Perfect tour to visit Amman and Jerash in one day, instead of just wasting time visiting in 2 days and loose a lot of time doing nothing Jalal our driver was the star of the tour
Travelling around Amman is not easy specially with all the traffic and busy stress but our driver Omar drove like there is nothing and was talking to us all the time name ut like a game And on the way to Jerash he stopped to get us fresh fruits witch was so kind from him The tour is extremely enjoyable and nice
I want to thank my driver Talal for everything he did, he make sure I enjoy my time and show me Amman in a great way
Best tour for one who has limited time in Jordan. It was 3 hours tour to Cathedral, Roman theater and Grand Mosque. Initially I did not had local currency but my driver helped me in buying g entrance tickets. Thanks to him.
Nabil, our driver, went beyond our expectation. He was providing us with a lot of information about Jordan during driving. Also our questions were answered with details. His driving was great and very safe. We strongly recommend this Amman and Jaresh tour
We weren’t aware until the morning there was no tour guide and the tour we had was a driver only - for this price we would expect a tour guide
this tour was a great choice, amman didn't need a full day so adding jerash is a smart move from creative the time we had with mohammad (our driver) was so great and funny, he give us a lot of information about sites and what to do, the food in jerash recommended by him was so tasty and light thanks for the great time Carlos & Anna
one of the best trips we did, amman was great, and the sweet shop our driver invited us to have some jordanian sweet was so delicious, we didn't had anything like it before, we was so surprised about jerash city, it was a big city and our driver told us that its the second biggest roman city in the world after rome for sure don't miss it
Very interesting to see commercial life in antiquity. The evolution of a people. The reception of water by a mill.
