This day tour offers a unique experience primarily due to the combination of diverse historical periods, architectural styles, and geographical landscapes visited within a single day, starting from a truly unique location: the Dead Sea.
You transition from exploring the remarkably preserved grandeur of a Roman provincial city (Jerash) with its colonnaded streets, temples, and theaters, to visiting a formidable medieval Islamic fortress (Ajloun Castle) built to defend against the Crusaders. This offers a fascinating glimpse into two vastly different historical epochs and their distinct architectural and strategic approaches.
In essence, the uniqueness lies in the journey itself – moving from the world's lowest point to explore a Roman metropolis and a medieval castle, providing a rich tapestry of history, culture, and landscape diversity all experienced within one day.

Ajlun Castle (Qala'at ar-Rabad)
Ajloun Castle, or Qal'at ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Muslim fortress on Mount Auf, built by Izz ad-Din Usama bin Munqidh, a general of Saladin, between 1184 and 1188 AD. Its strategic location controlled Ajloun's iron mines and protected the region from Crusader forces while overseeing trade routes and the Jordan Valley. Architecture: The castle features Islamic military architecture, characterized by fortified gates, high towers, and defensive elements such as a drawbridge and moat. However, few original features remain due to subsequent rebuilds and earthquakes. Towers and Chambers: Visitors can explore inner courtyards, chambers, and passageways, immersing themselves in the life that once existed within the fortress centuries ago. The castle features a small museum with exhibits related to its history, showcasing mosaics and medieval weaponry. Surrounding Area: The area offers picturesque scenery, known for its olive groves.

What an amazing day! Our driver Shadi was waiting for us at the Dead Sea resort. He was an amazing driver and the conversation was amazing all day. He told us everything about his country and was an open book for any and all questions. We went to Aljoun Castle and to Jerash Ruins. Both were amazing! Then on the way home he suggested that we extend for a few hours and go to Ma’In hot springs which was only 30 minutes from the resort. What an incredible place. We were very delighted with our day and would recommend this driver and tour to anyone. The driver Shadi is who made the day so great.
