Escape the city and journey into the lush highlands of northern Jordan on this private day tour from Amman. Discover a region where rolling green hills, ancient ruins, and layered history come together in one unforgettable experience.
Just 1.5 hours northwest of Amman—and only a short distance from Jerash—the Ajloun area offers a refreshing contrast to Jordan’s desert landscapes. Known for its mild climate and forested hills of oak, pine, and carob trees, it’s one of the country’s most scenic and fertile regions.
At the heart of your journey stands Ajloun Castle, a striking 12th-century fortress built by the Ayyubids under the command of Saladin. Perched high on a hill, the castle offers panoramic views and a fascinating insight into medieval Islamic military architecture and strategy.
The region is also rich in earlier history, with sites linked to the Byzantine period, including traditions associated with the Prophet Elijah, as well as Roman-era remains scattered across the surrounding hills.
Your journey continues to Pella, one of the most important archaeological sites in the region and part of the ancient Decapolis. Here, you’ll walk through layers of history spanning thousands of years—from Bronze Age settlements to Greco-Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic remains—all set within a serene valley landscape.
Travel in comfort with your private vehicle and guide, enjoying a relaxed pace and the flexibility to fully explore each site. After a day of discovery, return to Amman with a deeper appreciation of Jordan’s rich and diverse heritage.
