• Ajloun Castle - Situated high above the surrounding forests, Ajloun Castle is a remarkable example of Islamic military architecture. Constructed between 1184 and 1188 by Saladin’s nephew, it played a crucial role in defending the region against Crusader invasions.

At the visitor center, there is time to refresh before exploring the castle. Walk through its halls, towers, and passageways while learning about its strategic design and layered history, including later Mamluk enhancements. A small on-site museum displays artifacts from the region, and a short walk around the outer walls offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

• Tell Mar Elias - This serene hilltop site is traditionally associated with the Prophet Elijah (Elias), revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

This exclusive experience takes travelers beyond the usual day trips from Amman into the verdant highlands of northern Jordan—an often-overlooked region that beautifully contrasts with the country’s desert landscapes.

Participants will explore the remarkable Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century fortress, where history is vividly brought to life through its towers, passageways, and panoramic views. What truly distinguishes this tour is the depth and variety of sites visited beyond the castle.

From the serene hilltop ruins of Tell Mar Elias—associated with the Prophet Elijah—to lesser-known attractions like the Jesus Cave and a traditional village mosque, this journey seamlessly blends history, spirituality, and local culture in a way few tours can.

The adventure continues at Pella, one of Jordan’s oldest and continuously inhabited sites. Here, visitors can stroll through millennia of history in a peaceful setting away from the crowds, discovering Roman, Byzantine, and earlier remains at their own pace.
