Witness the classical antiquities of Amman and Jerash on this 8-hour private tour. Traveling between the sites by air-conditioned vehicle, take guided tours of the sun-burnished ancient ruins of Amman Citadel and see the city’s stellar Roman Amphitheater, a 6,000-seater stadium from the 2nd century. Then, drive to the spectacular ruins of Jerash, one of the Middle East’s best-preserved Roman cities.
