Don’t book the full day trip to Jerash, Umm Qais and Pella

The driver was very pleasant. However, the visit to Pella was a bust. It was closed. There was no one available and we turned around having spent about two hours traveling there. The only exciting part of the trip was Jerash. The guide was excellent and the visit therefore meaningful. At Umm Qais there was no guide. Other than the views of the surrounding area it also was very disappointing. I would have benefited from just visiting the citadel and Jerash on this day. I would NEVER recommend this excursion to others. In fact, it was a huge waste of time that could have been spent more productively closer to Amman.

Jerash tour was well worth it.

Our driver was excellent and very helpful during the tours. He was mindful of our needs and had a good attitude.

So much fun because of the driver...

<p>So much fun because of the driver, Amr. The best preserved Roman ruins is not an exaggeration.</p>
