Overview

This day tour offers a unique experience primarily due to the combination of diverse historical periods, architectural styles, and geographical landscapes visited within a single day, starting from a truly unique location: the Dead Sea.

You transition from exploring the remarkably preserved grandeur of a Roman provincial city (Jerash) with its colonnaded streets, temples, and theaters, to visiting a formidable medieval Islamic fortress (Ajloun Castle) built to defend against the Crusaders. This offers a fascinating glimpse into two vastly different historical epochs and their distinct architectural and strategic approaches.

In essence, the uniqueness lies in the journey itself – moving from the world's lowest point to explore a Roman metropolis and a medieval castle, providing a rich tapestry of history, culture, and landscape diversity all experienced within one day.

  • Ajlun Castle (Qala'at ar-Rabad)
    Ajloun Castle, or Qal'at ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Muslim fortress on Mount Auf, built by Izz ad-Din Usama bin Munqidh, a general of Saladin, between 1184 and 1188 AD. Its strategic location controlled Ajloun's iron mines and protected the region from Crusader forces while overseeing trade routes and the Jordan Valley. Architecture: The castle features Islamic military architecture, characterized by fortified gates, high towers, and defensive elements such as a drawbridge and moat. However, few original features remain due to subsequent rebuilds and earthquakes. Towers and Chambers: Visitors can explore inner courtyards, chambers, and passageways, immersing themselves in the life that once existed within the fortress centuries ago. The castle features a small museum with exhibits related to its history, showcasing mosaics and medieval weaponry. Surrounding Area: The area offers picturesque scenery, known for its olive groves.

    Jerash is an ancient Roman city renowned for being one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the Middle East. Located approximately 48 kilometers north of Amman. Founded in the 2nd century BC, the city thrived during Roman rule, becoming a significant hub for trade and commerce. Its exceptional ruins include temples, theaters, baths, and colonnaded streets. Key attractions in Jerash include: The Arch of Hadrian: Erected in 129 AD, this triumphal arch honors the visit of the Roman emperor Hadrian. The Temple of Artemis: Dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, this is among the largest and best-preserved Roman temples in the Middle East. The South Theater: Constructed in the 2nd century AD, this theater accommodates up to 5,000 spectators and continues to host concerts and performances today.
