Treasures of Northern Jordan: Ajloun Fortress & Ancient Jerash

Explore the captivating landscapes and historical richness of northern Jordan, where ancient civilizations have left their indelible mark. Begin in Jerash, nestled in the lush hills of Gilead, and marvel at one of the best-preserved Roman cities outside Italy. Walk through the imposing Arch of Hadrian, stroll the grand Street of Columns, and stand in awe before temples, theaters, and plazas that echo the brilliance of the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad eras.

Continue to the highlands of Ajloun to visit the powerful 12th-century castle built by the Ayyubids. Perched atop a mountain overlooking the northern Jordan Valley, this formidable fortress served as a strategic defense against Crusader incursions. Wander through its fortified halls, defensive towers, and winding stairways as you uncover the stories of medieval warfare, Islamic ingenuity, and the enduring resilience of the region. This journey through northern Jordan is a perfect blend of dramatic landscapes, military history, and architectural splendor.
