We had a fantastic day with our driver Yuones. We spent one hour at the Ajloun castle and three hours at Jerash. The Jerash site is spectacular and deserves three hours to explore. Yuones was on time and very helpful during the trip. Great day in Jordan. Thank you

Our driver contacted me the night before to advise me about pickup time, then again the morning of our trip. He was very punctual, and offered us water and the WiFi password. We went to the castle which was very interesting, with fabulous views, then he took us to Jerash, offering a stop for lunch but we didn’t need it. Jerash was amazing and took us around a couple of hours to cover. On the way back he pointed out some interesting landmarks before dropping us back to the hotel. All in all a very good experience.
