Unforgettable Day Trip to Northern Jordan – Thanks to Murad!
Full-Day Private Tour to Jerash and Umm Qais (Northern Jordan) Company: Jordan Private Tours and Travel Guide/Driver: Murad My one-day trip exploring the ancient wonders of Jerash and Umm Qais was an absolute highlight of my time in Jordan, and it was made truly exceptional thanks to our phenomenal driver and guide, Murad.

Great experience with Hasan
We had a wonderful experience with our guide and driver, Hasan. We decided to do this tour on our second day of being in Jordan. We visited Umm Qais/Gadara, Aljoun Castle and Jerash. The whole tour was very well planned. We chose to get some local guides at 2 of these locations so we could learn more about the history. Hasan drove us to all these locations and patiently waited for us at local restaurants until we were done with visiting the historical spots. He never rushed us. He was very kind and respectful. He talked about life in Jordan, discussed mutual interests and hobbies, and he even gave us some tips on how to best visit his wonderful country since it was the beginning of our trip. He gave us several surprises and treats throughout the trip. He bought us some welcome drinks, took us to a beautiful secret viewpoint and took pictures for us. The most thoughtful gift of this tour was that he surprised us with some personalized souvenirs that he bought for us while we were out exploring Jerash. We had the best experience on this tour because of Hasan! We will be recommending him to all our friends and family who are thinking of visiting Jordan!

Great Private Trip.
The trip commenced as per schedule on 27 May 2023. Driver Mr.Ahmed Habibi was punctual and picked us up from our place well on time. He was soft spoken and drove around to all the listed places safely. Not only that, he also offered refreshments time to time. Time spent at each place was adequate. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this tour to everyone. If you happen to get this driver, that will be an added bonus to the trip :)

The northern Jordan experience
All the sites were fascinating! I especially loved the Jerash and imaging life in that era. Also loved the drive to the northern part of Jordan.

Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amman.
How much does Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman cost?
+
Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amman usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amman is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amman can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amman and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Ajloun Castle from Amman start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amman within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amman?
+
On Outty we rank every Amman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amman?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amman?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
