it was beautiful, and Younis the driver was super friendly, I just would have loved if I was informed that the tour was not guided by a professional guide, and that I needed to pay extra for that service. rather than that, it was very comfy, I took my time to explore the archaeological sites and there was nothing to complain about.

Our driver, Mustafa Omar was great. He knew the back roads and saved us time. He stopped and showed us sights along the way. He was always punctual at pick up times. Even had the car washed while we were in a sight. If you don't have a Jordan Pass check it out before you come. It's a no brainer, saving on Jordan visa and these three sights. We're already ahead and Petra tomorrow @ $ 70 savings!

An excellent opportunity to see Jordan's countryside. One unique part of our trip was the opportunity to over look The Golan Heights and Syria. Jerash was fascinating and provides the opportunity to walk the city and get a sense of the grandeur and way of life of these citizens. Our driver, Mohammad, was prompt, courteous, a safe driver and knowledgeable. Bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to take spectacular pictures. A great way to see the countryside.
