Another great viator trip. Very friendly driver, interesting sights and good quality guides. It’s a packed day so we took food/drinks/snacks with us - there isn’t a lot of time to stop for a meal and we preferred to make the most of the sight seeing. Jerash is spectacular. We had excellent and very knowledgable guides at both the Citadel and Jerash. Excellent day trip. Take comfortable walking shoes for Jerash!giorgio3visan
