After breakfast, transfer to the old Roman city of Jerash for a half day visit; Jerash the Jewel of the North is one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. A close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan, the ancient city of Jerash boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years.

The city’s golden age came under Roman rule and the site is now generally acknowledged to be one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. Hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash reveals a fine example of the grand, formal provincial Roman urbanism that is found throughout the Middle East, comprising paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theatres, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates.

Continue to Ajloun for a visit of Ajloun Castle; located 28km from Jerash and 76km North West of Amman, Ajloun is a hilly town noted for its impressive ruins and the 12th century fortress, known as Ajloun Castle, built by the nephew of Saladin.
