What's included in the tour price?

Private vehicle transport, hotel pickup and drop-off in Amman, a private guide, and entrance fees to both Jerash and Ajloun Castle (unless you hold a valid Jordan Pass, in which case bring it to skip the fee portion).

How much walking and climbing is involved?

Jerash requires 2–3 hours of moderate walking on uneven ancient stone streets and slight slopes. Ajloun Castle involves steeper terrain and internal stone staircases. Both are manageable for average fitness, but wear sturdy shoes.

Can I choose what order to visit the sites?

Yes. As a private tour, you have flexibility to customize your route and timing. Discuss your preferences with your guide when confirming the tour start time.

Is there time for independent exploration?

Yes. The tour includes free time at each site so you can explore at your own pace, take photos, and linger on features that interest you most—not a rushed checklist experience.

How hot does it get, and what should I bring?

Summer temperatures can exceed 35°C (95°F) with minimal shade at both sites. Bring 1–2 liters of water per person, sunscreen, a hat, and light, breathable clothing. Sunglasses are essential.

What time does the tour start, and what's the pickup process?

The tour is 8 hours total. Your hotel in Amman will be contacted to confirm your preferred pickup time. Private pickup from your accommodation is included; the supplier will provide exact timing and driver details at confirmation.

our guide Yuki sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and came away with 200+ photos.

our guide Joseph had so many stories and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Paris last year, loved it
