This tour offers a one-day journey through three significant historical periods and cultures, including Umm Qais's Hellenistic and Roman history, Ajloun Castle's medieval Islamic military architecture, and Jerash's Roman urban planning. The sites showcase different types of ruins: Jerash as a large ancient city, Umm Qais with Roman and Ottoman ruins against natural scenery, and Ajloun as a fortress. It's a highly efficient trip for limited time, combining three major northern Jordan attractions into one day.
