Depart Amman for an hour-long drive to Jerash. Journey north in an air-conditioned vehicle, taking in the passing towns and desert landscapes. Upon arrival in Jerash, enter this archaeological treasure through its ancient city gate. Founded by Alexander the Great in the 2nd century AD and known as Gerasa, Jerash was one of the wealthiest provincial cities in the Roman Empire. As your guide (if hired) shares fascinating stories about the city in its prime, explore its arches, theaters, and magnificent colonnaded street. Capture photos of the intriguing Oval Plaza, an oval-shaped forum, and imagine the lives of those who once inhabited this place.
A large, unique oval-shaped public square surrounded by columns
A beautifully preserved temple dedicated to the patron goddess of the city.
An incredibly well-preserved Roman theater with fantastic acoustics. You can often find a local musician playing a bagpipe here.
Located on a hill overlooking the Oval Plaza, this temple offers panoramic views.
A grand public fountain dedicated to water nymphs.
This is your grand entrance to the ancient city. A monumental, three-arched gateway built to commemorate the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 129 CE.
This is the main colonnaded street that runs through the city. You can walk along its original paving stones, which still show the ruts worn by ancient chariot wheels.
After exploring Jerash, you'll begin your drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, over 400 meters below sea level. You'll access one of its resorts, like Holiday Inn or Crowne Plaza, where you can relax and enjoy the healing waters. Fresh towels will be provided. Soak up the sunshine and enjoy the scenic Judean and Jordanian mountains. Coat yourself with mineral-rich mud for skin rejuvenation, then float effortlessly in the highly salt-laden waters, famous for their buoyancy. Capture the iconic floating pose while reading or relaxing. Fed mainly by the Jordan River, the Dead Sea offers a unique experience to relax, rejuvenate, and marvel at nature's wonder.
We had an amazing time with Anas! He offered us tips and advice in Jordan. He was funny and kind. He even offered us food with his friends while we were done early with Jerash. I liked how we were able to choose what to do on our own time, so that was really nice. Anas just made everything even better !
We took the Jerash and Dead Sea tour with R&H. Our driver Adnan was punctual, friendly and helpful. We went to Jarash first and explored the Roman ruins before heading to the Crown resort for a swim in the Dead Sea. Had buffet lunch and full mud treatment down at the beach. Well worth it
My driver, Berdaghawi, was on time, drove safely and added little touches like stopping for coffee and mint tea. I had as much time as I wanted at each stop and never felt rushed. He showed me around at the Dead Sea. The car was comfortable and cold water and Internet provided. Berdagawi spoke good English and was super friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful day trip.out of Amman,.beginning at 8am. I chose to return at 5.30.
Today we went visited at the Dead Sea. The trip itself was great, our driver was extremely nice, helpful and friendly. the environment where we were was great, the experience of floating on top of the water was phenomenal along with the mud wrap. if we are here again we would like Baden as our driver! we recommend him to everyone! 🙂
My trip to Jerash and the Dead Sea wouldn’t have been the same without Bardaghawi. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about every place we visited. What really stood out was how much he cared about making the experience special. He suggested amazing viewpoints and hidden spots I never would’ve seen on my own. Thanks to his local insight, I got to experience parts of Jerash and the Dead Sea. Bardaghawi truly went above and beyond — from great conversation to helping with photos and making sure everything went smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Highly recommend him to anyone traveling in Jordan!
Outstanding Day Trip! We had an unforgettable trip from Amman to Jerash and the Dead Sea with our amazing driver Shadi. He was very professional and well-organized — he reached out to us a day before to confirm everything and made sure the car was ready and spotless. The vehicle was large, comfortable, and equipped with cold water, snacks, and Wi-Fi, which made the journey very pleasant. At the Dead Sea, we spent a wonderful afternoon swimming and relaxing at a 5-star resort, staying until sunset before heading back to Amman. Everything went perfectly, and Shadi’s hospitality and professionalism truly made the experience special. Highly recommended!
⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Experience! Our day trip from Amman to Jerash and the Dead Sea was absolutely perfect! Our driver, Mahmoud Awad, was extremely professional and kind. He contacted us the day before to confirm all the details and arrived on time with a very clean, spacious, and comfortable car. He even provided us with cold water, snacks, and free Wi-Fi throughout the day. We had plenty of time to explore Jerash and then relax and swim at a 5-star hotel at the Dead Sea, staying until sunset. The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Mahmoud Awad — one of the best drivers we’ve ever had in Jordan!
The car was clean and didnt smell of smoke and was very comfortable. The driver ( forgot his name) was funny and friendly and very knowledgeable. You wont have any issues, price was reasonable. Enough time for everything.
Great driver and company. Bardaghawi was our driver, and he was punctual, helpful, and knowledgeable about everything. You will love this day trip, we did. He had plenty of cold water for us. The car was comfy and clean, and he was a good, safe driver.
Our driver was Mahmuod Awad and we can easily recommend his services. He arrived early, was easy to talk to and cared about our experience. The vehicle was air conditioned, spacuous and comfortable. We learned alot about the area on our way to Jerash. At the ruins he connected us with our excellent local guide and waited for us until we returned. Our favorite spots were the Roman theatre, the Temple of Artemis and the Nymphaeum Fountain. The Jerash ruins are a highly recommended side trip from Amman.
Excellent organisation with contact a couple days before our reservation. Shadi, our driver, was exceptionally knowledgable and an excellent driver. The site itself is impressive and we spent approximately two hours there.
Our driver Hassan arrived early and was polite and helpful. He was informative and showed us what to do and where to go. He also recommended a good coffee shop and an excellent restaurant for lunch. I would highly recommend him.
I arrived in Jordan the evening before this tour with Adnan Hamdan. He kept me informed via WhatsApp on the day I arrived that he will be waiting for me outside the lobby. Upon greeting Adnan, I received a warm welcome to Jordan and he maintained a smile and great conversation the entire journey to Jerash. His knowledge of Jordan is extremely valuable and offered great insight into its history. Very personable and an all round great tour.
Wonderful day exploring Jerash. Hussam our guide was punctual, knowlegeable, friendly and professional. He was the perfect guide to take us to Jerash from Amman and treated us to Turkish coffee on the way. Would highly recommend him - ask for him directly, you won’t be disappointed.
enjoyed great half day tour. Our driver the famous Mr. Mint was kind courteous and prompt. Highest recommendation. Jerash itself a no doubt must see while visiting Jordan
I have booked through getyourguide.com, my driver was Hatem, he was really kind and he explained me a lot regarding his lovely culture, I really recommend to have a tour with him!
Great tour! First sightseeing in the fascinating Roman city, then relaxing by the Dead Sea.
We had a pleasant time with our driver Anas. He took great care of us. Thank you for everything and continue learning French! 🙏
