Worth seeing northern Jordan - This tour provided so much in one day. Such a great experience to be able to see these places! Mohammed was my driver and was wonderful. He made sure I was comfortable and taken care of the entire day. He was professional, personable, and even helped teach me some Arabic. He made this day even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!

Explore the sites in comfort - Ahmad was an excellent driver and I felt extremely comfortable with him. He had in-depth knowledge about all of the areas we visited and gave excellent recommendations. He arrived on time for our departure and didn’t make me feel rushed at all, encouraging me to take as long as I needed at each site. His vehicle was clean, he offered plenty of water, and was willing to stop for coffee and food as needed. I would highly recommend booking his service.

Fun, long, varied day - Did all three stops. Unlike south of Amman (desert), the north is green and hilly! Umm Quais is first, then Aljoun castle and then Jerash. Umm Quais is worth it for the views though the site itself is not overly well preserved. Aljoun castle is a fairly quick stop but still worthwhile. The inside is beautifully lit with floor lights and fun to walk around. Spent 2.5 hours at Jerash. Vendors are a bit aggressive on the way to the gate but after that it’s quiet. Make sure you get to both theatres (they are at opposite ends of the site). Driver was kind, polite and on time. Lunch is at a mediocre restaurant (Artemis) in Jerash which is geared for tour groups. Drivers eat free here when they bring tourists so I guess, oh well. Hit major traffic jams on the way back into Amman so try not to be in a rush. All in all a good day!
