Treasures of Northern Jordan - Ajloun & Jerash

Located in the fertile hills of Gilead, the remarkable city of Jerash (or Gerasa in Ancient Greek) stands as testament to the magnificent ingenuity and artistic flair of the Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad civilizations.

Follow your TrueTrips expert guide through the Arch of Hadrian and the Street of Columns and marvel at the majestic remains of this once glorious city. Continue your tour with a visit to the Castle at Ajloun; built by Ayyubids during 1184 and 1185 and located on a high peak overlooking the northern Jordan Valley, this dominating fortress had several major objectives over the centuries. Most important of which was to act as an opposing power and deterrent against the crusader castles at Kerak and Shobak.
