After breakfast, drive to Jerash, often called the “Pompeii of the East” and one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities outside Italy. Explore its impressive ruins, including the colonnaded Cardo Maximus, the South Theatre, the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Artemis, and the Nymphaeum. The city also features several Byzantine-era churches adorned with fine mosaics, reflecting its long and layered history.
Continue to Umm Qais, a Greco-Roman Decapolis city mentioned in historical and biblical sources, located in northern Jordan on a scenic hillside. From its ruins, enjoy sweeping views over the Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias), the Golan Heights, and the Yarmouk River valley. Walk through the ancient streets and experience the atmosphere of civilizations that once flourished here, from the Macedonians and Romans to the Byzantines, Umayyads, and Ottomans.
After the visit, return to Amman.
