Traveler reviews
An Unexpected Marvel Even in the Rain
The site is quite amazing, even when viewed from a distance. Unfortunately, the day I toured the area, there was no way to anticipate a sudden sandstorm en route, nor a rain storm in Pella. The weather added a bit of excitement to the tour. The site would definitely be a point of interest to explore - in good weather.
Don’t miss this hidden gem!
Pella was an outstanding experience for us! Absolutely gorgeous site, rich with history and beautiful scenery. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and personable. Would recommend for the adventurous type and for the photographers!
Plesant trip along the Jordan River Valley to Pella
The tour was as described. My driver, Mahmoud, arrived at the hotel for my pickup right on time. He provided quite a bit of information as we drove from Amman to Pella. The route from Salt to Pella was new to me and I enjoyed the beautiful scene overlooking the Jordan River valley. I was the only visitor to Pella on the day I went. There is a visitor center under construction but is not yet open. There are a few signs describing the ruins, it was helpful to do a bit of research ahead of time about the site. This is noting like Jerash. However it is humbling to be able to walk around the ancient city. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes for rough terrain if you go. Mahmoud stopped at a few vantage points so I could take some pictures on the way back. He also stopped at a falafel store and purchase a few tasty ones for me. I enjoyed the outing to explore outside of Amman. This is really more like a 1/2 day tour as we started at 8 am and I was back to the hotel around 12:30.
