DAY 2 // AMMAN – JERASH – AJLOUN – DEAD SEA
After breakfast, we head to visit the ancient Roman city of Jerash,
including the paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples,
theatres, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city
walls. Proceeding to northern Jordan to visit one of the most important
ecological and historical sites in the Middle East; Ajloun. Ajloun Castle
(Qal’at Ar-Rabad) is a fine example of Islamic architecture as it was
built by Saladin’s general in 1184 AD to control the iron mines of
Ajloun, and to counter the progress of the Crusaders by dominating
the three main routes leading to the Jordan valley and protecting the
communication routes between Jordan and Syria.
