Jerash & Cooking Experience

Jerash & Ajloun Castle

This morning, you will be picked up by our private driver from your location in Amman at 8:00 a.m. Your first site will be Jerash. A local site guide will meet you when you arrive and guide you through this ancient city of the Decapolis. When the tour is complete, you will proceed to the famous Ajloun Castle approximately 30 minutes northwest from Jerash. You will have time to explore this fortress built to protect the country against Crusader attacks.

Orjan Village & Lunch

After you are finished visiting Ajloun Castle, your group will continue the tour to a local village full of unmatched hospitality.  You’ll enjoy helping a local family prepare lunch and will be able to share the meal together with your group and host family.  (See here for an example of one of our guests experience – ‘Cultural Interaction in a Jordanian Kitchen’).
