See two of northern Jordan's most important ancient sites in a single day on this Jerash and Umm Qais Day Tour from Amman. Travel north to Jerash, where guided sightseeing takes you through major Roman-era landmarks including Hadrian's Arch, the Oval Plaza, the Temple of Artemis, and the South Theater.
After exploring Jerash and stopping for an included lunch at a local restaurant, continue to Umm Qais, the site of ancient Gadara. Here, dark basalt remains, a Roman theater, and ancient streets sit on a hilltop overlooking the Jordan Valley and the Sea of Galilee.
The journey then returns to Amman, making this a practical option for travelers who want to combine two significant archaeological sites without an overnight stay. Transportation, guided sightseeing, entrance fees, and lunch are included according to the current tour information, with no domestic flights or accommodation required.
Depart from Amman in the morning and travel north through the Jordanian countryside to Jerash, one of the day's two major archaeological sites.
On arrival, begin your guided exploration of the ancient city. Walk through the distinctive Oval Plaza and continue among Jerash's monumental Roman remains. Your sightseeing includes the Temple of Artemis, South Theater, and Hadrian's Arch, with your guide providing useful historical context as you move through the site.
After your Jerash visit, stop for an included lunch at a local restaurant before continuing north toward Umm Qais.
Umm Qais occupies the site of ancient Gadara, one of the cities associated with the Decapolis. Explore the archaeological remains, including the Roman theater, dark basalt structures, and ancient streets. The hilltop setting also provides broad views across the Jordan Valley toward the Sea of Galilee and surrounding highlands.
After completing your visit to Umm Qais, travel back to Amman, where the day tour concludes.
