Route
Drive to visit Pella, with your own private leisure vehicle and English-Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide. Pella, also known in Arabic as (Tabaqat Fahl), considered one of the most outstanding historical sites on the map of Jordan tourism, its rich in archaeological monuments that go back to the antiquity. During this period Pella was one of the ten cities making up the Decapolis. Pella is a village in North West of Jordan, its located to the East of Al Masharih town; the city was constructed in the Hellenistic Era in the time of Alexander the Great. The first literary reference to the city is from the 19th century B.C. when it is mentioned in Egyptian texts as Pihilum, or Pehel. It was a flourishing trade center, with links with Syria and Cyprus as well as Egypt. On the division of Alexander's Empire, its name was later Hellenized to Pella, in honor of Alexander's birthplace.
In the 7th century A.D., Pella was captured by Arab armies and was a significant city in the Umayyad Empire for over 100 years. However, in 747 A.D., Pella (along with much of Jordan) was destroyed by a huge earthquake. Only a small, rural community lived here afterwards, during the Mamluk and Abbasid periods. Pella is considered more significant to archaeologists than Jerash as it reveals evidence of 6000 years of continuous settlement. In fact, it’s regarded as the most historically significant site in all Jordan. Your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.

About Amman
Amman, de hoofdstad van Jordanië, ligt op een reeks heuvels, met Romeinse ruïnes, drukke soeks en een warm onthaal aan het begin van elke Jordaniëreis.
De Citadel van Amman kroont de Jabal al-Qal'a met de Tempel van Hercules, het Omajjadenpaleis en weids uitzicht over de stad. Daaronder biedt het in de heuvel uitgehouwen Romeinse theater plaats aan duizenden, en de soeks in het centrum rond de Grote Husseini-moskee verkopen specerijen, goud en zoetigheid, met de geur van koffie en kardemom in de lucht.
Top-ranked sights in Amman: Petra, Jerash (Gerasa), Ajloun Castle.
