The water was warm for January, which made floating in the Dead Sea easy. Jerash was amazing. Got there at opening so we had the place to ourselves for about an hour before the tour buses arrive, which was perfect.
Wonderful day in Jordan! I had an excellent private tour from Amman to Jerash and the Dead Sea. The entire experience was smooth, well-organized, and truly memorable. My driver, Mohammad, was outstanding—professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the stops. He made the drive comfortable and shared helpful insights and history along the way. Jerash was incredible to explore, and ending the day relaxing at the Dead Sea was perfect. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Mohammad as your driver!
This tour was a highlight of my stay in Jordan! The driver was very professional and made sure we were comfortable all day. Jerash was stunning, and the Dead Sea was peaceful and unique. Everything was well organized, and I always felt safe and cared for.
The driver Faisal very kind and helpful, speaks very good English. Clean and well maintained car. Great Service, he picked us up from under the apartment, offered us fresh water, stopped to make me buy Dead Sea products. Super cute experience, I recommend it!! I recommend doing the Jordan Pass which includes entry to Jerash (and other sites like Petra) and visa.

Special thanks to our driver, Bilal, for his professionalism and care – always making sure we were comfortable and informed. The whole experience felt very safe, and the organization was outstanding. Jordan never disappoints!
