Meet your private driver at your central Amman hotel and board your comfortable, air‐conditioned minivan. Then, start out on your full‐day trip to Jerash and Umm Qais, home to the ruins of two of ancient Rome’s Decapolis cities — a group of 10 situated on the frontiers of the Roman Empire in the Middle East. First, venture northward through Jordan’s desert landscapes to Jerash, a modern city fringed by the relics of the once‐prosperous Roman city known as Gerasa. Meet your friendly local guide at the entrance, and enjoy a private tour of the spectacular site, one of the best‐preserved Roman cities in the Middle East. Pass through the monumental Hadrian’s Arch that was the city’s main gateway, and ogle the classic ruins spread before you.
