We went with private driver,.Monther. He was very kind.
Picked us up at the hotel, took us back.
Just 50mins by car from Amman.
The turkish coffee "drive-in" was great! Jerash is beautiful, a must-have trip! 2.5-3 hours min, to see the most important parts.

The tour itself was disappointing as we had no guide included , which we thought we would have had at the prices mentioned , our driver Mohammed was wonderful, took us from point a to b and guided us with regards to formalities , other than that we were left to our own devices , not recommended as a guide would have enhanced the experience.Mohammed did take us for a wonderful local lunch , in all honesty this was the last day of our journey , so we did cut the duration short by choice, having said so a guide would have definitely made us do the rounds longer !

I had been looking for tours to Jerash but when travelling alone costs for private tours mounted and moved them beyond my reach. When I found the tour with Al Rayan it was very reasonably priced compared to other providers. I was initially concerned but everything went to plan I was picked up on time by Akram who has excellent English and kindly started the day with water and a Turkish coffee. The car was very comfortable and the drive itself offers stunning scenery particularly from Aijouln. Akram was able to give me background on the countryside we passed through. I am a bit of a history buff and felt I had as much time as I needed in each site. I hired a guide separately in Jerash which worked well. on the return journey, I mentioned I had not tried Mensef as yet so Akram was able to drop me to an excellent restaurant on the way back for lunch. I would heartily recommend this tour particularly to those travelling alone.
