After your panoramic city tour, set off on your afternoon excursion to Jerash. When you arrive in the ancient city, enter through the main gates on foot, and gaze in wonder at well-preserved Roman architecture before you. Under Alexander the Great’s rule, Jerash became one of the wealthiest Decapolis cities of the Roman Empire. See the Oval Plaza, an intriguing egg-shaped forum, and amble down the famous colonnaded street. Stop whenever you like to take photos by some of the city’s many sites including temples and theaters.

1. Madaba

Check out of your Amman hotel after breakfast, and relax on the coach ride to the first stop of your action-packed day: the market town of Madaba. Often called the ‘City of Mosaics,’ the city owes its popularity to a lavish mosaic map of the Holy Land that covers the floor of St George’s Church. Head inside the church to see it, and learn about the town’s other ancient biblical sites from your guide.
