Tour Description

Ajloun, the Islamic castle was built in 1185 by the famous General Sultan Salah Ad-din to protect the country against the Crusader attacks and to secure the pilgrim routes & was re-built on XIII century after Mongol destruction. 
Jerash, the best example of a Roman provincial city in the Middle East, which is only 50 km north of Amman. Jerash was built by Alexander the Great in 332BC and started to prosper after the Roman conquest in 63BC. The Artemis Temple, the theatres, the Colonnaded Street and many other ancient buildings give you the feeling of the great civilization and the history of the region. 
Madaba, well known for its Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. Especially popular in Madaba is the 6th century mosaic map of Palestine on the floor of the orthodox St. George's Church.
Mt. Nebo where Prophet Moses gazed across the Promised Land and also where he later died, here one can also find the remains of a church from the 4th century and a monastery with magnificent mosaics. From the mountain enjoy a panoramic view of the Holy Land; usually Jericho is visible and on clear days Jerusalem is visible too. The importance of the place lies in being the last place visited by Moses.

The Treasury, famous and internationally known monument made into a film in one of the Indiana Jones movies, the Tombs of colors, the Royal Tombs, the Monastery.
