Day Tour to Jerash, Ajloun Castle and Dead Sea

Morning pick-up from an Amman hotel, then drive north to Jerash (Gerasa), one of the Roman Decapolis cities, known for being the best-preserved outside of Italy. Explore its theaters, temples, churches, and colonnaded streets. Next, drive to Rabad Castle (Ajloun Castle), where you'll visit the Islamic military fortress of Ajloun, once used by Saladin's armies to defend the region against the Crusaders. Afterwards, begin a one-hour drive to the Dead Sea. As the lowest point on Earth, filled with minerals with medicinal properties, it has become a popular health spa destination. The mineral-rich mud is used for therapeutic and beauty treatments. Queen Cleopatra and Sheba are said to have known its value and used it. Due to its high salinity, the water supports no life, earning it the name 'Dead Sea,' and floating is effortless. Be sure to prepare to swim and relax in the mud before heading back to Amman.
