We were promptly picked up by our driver, Mr Mohammed at 8am, to go to both Aljoun Castle and the Archaeological Site of Jerash. We had hot tea at the start of the 1.5 hour ride, compliments from Mr Mohammed. He made a brief viewpoint stop at Firas Al Aljouni Plane (F-104), where we could also see the Aljoun Castle in the distant. We took our time walking at both sites, completed at 3pm and we were driven back to Amman by 4.30pm.

Thank you saada. The bestia driver for the north of Jordania
Everything was excellent! Saada was a fantastic driver and guide. The tour was very enjoyable, and we had some great conversations along the way. I would definitely do it again!
Saada was a friendly and very professional driver. He picked me up exactly on time and communicated very well. Would definitely recommend this company!
Good day visiting three sites. Zeyad was a good driver who looked after us well. All arrangements worked well.
I had a wonderful day exploring northern Jordan. If you are looking for a guide who is genuinely kind and goes out of his way to make your trip special, then book this tour and ask for Anees. He made the journey between Jerash, Ajloun, and Umm Qais seamless and enjoyable. What really stood out was his thoughtfulness—at one point, I happened to mention how much I liked the local wildflowers, and without me even asking, Anees found a safe spot to pull over just so I could take photos of the poppies. It was such a kind gesture and really showed how much he cares about his guests' experience. Between the incredible Roman history in Jerash and the stunning views, Anees made sure I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the day. I highly recommend booking this tour if you want a stress-free tour of historical Jordan
It was a nice tour to visit a few beautiful places around Amman. Thanks to our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja to take care of us and give us a good advice about restaurant for lunch. Lovely experience!
I had an excellent day tour from Amman visiting Jerash, Umm Qays, and Ajloun Castle. The itinerary was well organized, and the sights were impressive—especially the Roman ruins of Jerash and the views from Umm Qays. Our driver, Hassan Al‑Khatib, was very kind, helpful, and professional. The car was clean, comfortable, and made the long drives enjoyable.
Saadeh was a great driver and was very helpful along the way. I would recommend him and will book him next time I come to Jordan!
I enjoyed this trip. It was a long day but we saw 3 amazing sights in the north of Jordan which normally might be intimidating to reach without a local driver. Particularly the viewpoint of Israel, Syria (Golan) and Lebanon mountains from Umm Qais felt moving, and we were about the only tourists there at that time. Aljoun Castle had beautiful views, and Jerash was impressively large and well-preserved Roman ruins. Do note this booking is only including the transportation itself and not actually a guided tour of the sites, but I didn't feel the need to pay for a guide at any of the sites. The lunch stop (not included in the price) of mansaf at a local restaurant was tasty. I’m glad I chose the group tour, as my group were all solo travelers and everyone was fun and chatty! Our driver Mahmoud Alkhawaja was great too.
I had an excellent day on this tour. Our driver, Emad, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful—he shared insights about Jordanian food, culture, and politics. Since I needed to catch a JETT bus to Aqaba after the tour, he checked the schedules, helped book my ticket, and even drove me to the bus station. Um Qais, Ajloun, and Jerash were all captivating; Jerash in particular impressed me with the scale and superb preservation of its ruins. This well-organized tour efficiently covers the main highlights of northern Jordan—highly recommended.
All visited places are extremely interesting and the tour is well catered to fit enough time in each and, with group's accordance, small adjustments can be done to accommodate more or less time in each site. Pick-up service is so off the charts and driver was incredibly friendly and acknowledged on the sites and more, Ibrahem Althodan, went above and beyond to make sure all was in place for us to enjoy it.
Had an amazing experience exploring northern Jordan with Faisal! The food he recommended was incredible, and he made sure we tried the best local spots. He’s a genuinely kind and friendly guy, and the time we spent in the car with him was fun, comfortable, and full of great conversation. Highly recommend him — thank you, Faisal, for an unforgettable day!
Really great day trip experience. Saadeh was a great driver and very friendly. I enjoyed meeting the people within my group and had a great time exploring at each stop. I booked this tour last minute and I am very grateful I did. Would recommend to anyone visiting Amman!

We had such an amazing time visiting all three sites one single day. We were very privileged to have Mahmoud as our driver. He was very kind with us at all times, we never felt rushed during our trip and he was willing to answer our questions and share information about Jordan in general while also giving us giving valuable tips to make our trip more enjoyable. Thank you very much Mahmoud!
We had the most wonderful day on this trip. Our driver - Mohannad Amir was just amazing! He gave us lots of information about Amman and the sites we were visiting. He made us great recommendations about Jerash. He really made our day special and showed us Jordanian hospitality! Would highly recommend!
Khalil is an amazing driver. Very polite and considerate. Very attentive for the needs of his guests aswell. He knew quite a lot about the different sites we visited and was very patient while we were out exploring. I highly recommend this tour.
Mustafah was phenomenal. Knowledge of the area and local gems was on point. And patience with us as we explored the area. Many thanks. Truly appreciated the hospitality!
What a day! We covered Umm Qais, Adjlun Castle and Jerash and we loved it. The day was hot, but we still had fun! Would totally recommend!
Ramzi was a great host during our tour. He made us feel safe and was very kind to bring us water to keep hydrated during a very hot summer day in Jordan. The 3 sites we visited were interesting and we stopped to buy fresh fruits during our drive. We ended our day eating a delicious Jordan dish in a restaurant that Ramzi recommended. Thank you for an amazing day!
We have a wonderful time with Mustafa visiting the beautiful historical sights of Jordan. Mustafa was so helpful, providing excellent recommendations for lunch and sending links to other spots around Amman for us to visit. His car was so comfortable, with plenty of room to stretch out as we took in the sights around us. We would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a no hassle, fun way to see Um Qais, Ajloun Castle and Jerash. Thank you Mustafa, we hope to see you soon!
Very prompt, friendly service from Ramzi. Very nice guy, speaks good English, and was a pleasure to spend the day with. Plenty of bottled water and snacks to keep us going. We thoroughly recommend Ramzi to anyone wanting a day trip or transport.
It was a good experience, Safwat, the driver was really helpful. We have a good conversations between the sites and he has some advice at each site and overall for Jordan for the best experience. I recommend this tour, for one day it’s perfect.
We did a 5-hour Jerash-only tour, and Emad picked us up from our apartment. Everything was very well coordinated from the pickup to the drop-off. Emad was really kind and professional, and it was easy to communicate with him. During the tour, he guided us to interesting places that we hadn’t noticed or seen from outside the car ourselves. He kept us constantly engaged throughout the whole tour, and it was definitely a memorable experience. The car was really clean and had a water bottle for us. Highly recommended tour!
I had a great time visiting key ancient sites. I highly recommend the driver, Emad, an enthusiastic local who negotiated the busy roads with skill. He was informative and thoughtful during the drive, and attentive to the needs of the passenger.
We had a wonderful time exploring Northern Jordan seeing Umm Qays, Ajloun Castle and Jerash Ruins. Our driver, Emad helped to make our experience feel authentic and enjoyable. Jordan is s beautiful country - we hope to back again soon.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable day with Khalil. He looked after us from start to finish ensuring we got to all the planned visits and giving us as much time as we needed. Departing from Amman, our first stop was to Umm Qais (stopping for a nice cardamom coffee en route), a Roman ruin in the picturesque hills with fabulous views. Following our visit to Ajloun, again with fabulous views from the 12th century castle, Khalil took us to a nice restaurant for lunch before finishing our day at the larger Roman site of Jerash. A nice friendly driver who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Excellent trip. We very much enjoyed the day, we were taken the scenic route with views across the valley and the guide/driver was really informative. All sites very amazing, could have happily spent more time at each
We had a wonderful day with Alamal Tours. Our driver, Omar, was professional, good-humored, considerate, and a great driver. We were able to spend as long as we desired at each stop. In retrospect, it might be better to see Jerash first rather than last as the site closes by 5 PM in the winter. Highly recommended!
Really incredible tour. The views of the Jordanian countryside from Um Qais and Ajloun Castle are beautiful, as are the sites themselves. Fox is a great driver, very informative guide and all around cool guy. Highly recommend this tour from Amman.
Amazing experience, I 100% recommend it. On time, responsable and friendly. I would do it again…. If you want to visit more about Jordan it’s the right choiche
Very good experience, and kindness suggestion during the trip. Nice driver, highly recommend! Want to visit again.
Using our Jordan pass to get into every location. We had the best driver we have had all trip, got us to every location swiftly and safely. Was knowledgeable on each location with some great tips to help us. We got treated to a local cuisine in Jerash by our driver which was 10/10! Highly recommend using this service, you won’t be disappointed.
Khalil was the best guide ever! So informative and amazing company - super friendly and made us feel very safe and welcome. He was very kind and respectful of the areas we went to, and we were not rushed at any sites, we were given time to explore as much as we wanted. We would happily do another tour with this company because of Khalil. The tour was low season so it was wonderful and quiet, the weather was perfect as it wasn’t too hot and we got to explore for many hours. The sights were amazing and so well preserved. We saw so much history it was incredible. Khalil stopped off and bought us a delicious breakfast and stopped in the afternoon and kindly brought us some drinks! We had such a wonderful experience it was 100% worth every penny a real bargain. I would recommend to anyone that is interested in historical sights and wants to get a real sense of the different types of people and cultures that have inhabited Jordan. Thank you Khalil!!!!
We got to see a lot in one day, and the places were very beautiful. Samer was very nice, and answered all of our questions (which were many) about the places and the culture in Jordan.
