Castles · JORDAN CASTLE TOURS
The good jordan castle tours sell their morning slots weeks ahead. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes, and where they differ.
Choose Jerash alone, or add Ajloun Castle and Umm Qais to your private day from Amman. Your English-speaking driver, such as Shadi, Anas, or Mohammad, handles the roads, hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, and bottled water. Add local guides and entrance fees if needed, and allow roughly a full day for all three sites.
“I’ve traveled a lot and this tour and my guide was the best!”
Travel from Amman with a private English-speaking driver to Roman Jerash, then add Ajloun Castle or Umm Qais. You set the pace, can hire local guides at each site, and receive hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, and water. Drivers such as Ramzi, Omar, Safwat, and Anas are praised for clear communication and helpful local advice.
“We did a private tour to Jerash with our incredible driver Zakariya. The transportation was excellent and the Roman ruins at Jerash were so impressive. We had a great time at the site. Most importantly Zakariya was a very knowledgeable driver who knew all the fun facts around, and was always making sure we were comfortable and provided a clear itinerary. He made the trip extra special and we recommend this tour and this driver to all who visit Jordan.”
Travel from Amman into Jordan’s Eastern Desert to see Quseir Amra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Azraq’s black basalt fort. Your English-speaking driver handles transport, entrance fees, and transfers. Drivers such as Mohammad, Omar, and Tasir have been praised for friendly service and useful stories, though guide service can vary.
“Amazing tour and Omar was a great guide. The transport was perfect, all well-organised. Would totally recommend. And perfect for solo female travellers.”
Travel north from Amman in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to explore Jerash’s Roman streets, temples, theaters, and plazas, then visit Ajloun Castle, built by Saladin’s forces in 1184. Your English-speaking driver handles transport and hotel pickup. Local guides and entrance fees cost extra, so you can explore at your own pace or add site commentary.
“Jerash amazing place to visit. So much to see there. Driver friendly and polite and had WiFi which was useful when out and about during day. I hadn’t paid for Jordanian SIM card so couldn’t access internet except when in hotel with WiFi . Was very interesting to see some of countryside of northern Jordan.”
Travel privately from Amman to three striking Umayyad sites: fresco-filled Quseir Amra, fortress-like Qasr Al Kharanah, and Azraq Castle, once used by Lawrence of Arabia. Your English-speaking driver, including highly praised guides such as Hassan and Amer, shares history along the way. Add a castle guide, lunch, or the Azraq Wetland Reserve if desired.
“The driver, Hassan, was punctual and very safe. He provided information on all the sites we visited and brought us to a great place for lunch. We had a great time!”
By the kind of castle day, rather than the country.
