  Umm Qais

  You'll have time to tour the ancient Hellenistic, Greco-Roman, Decapolis City, and its wonderful ruins - uniquely of basalt stone. The archaeological site's location is particularly impressive with views of the Golan Heights, the Sea of Galilee, and Mount Hermon.

• 3

  Hike the Jordan Trail

  After touring the site, you'll hike the beginning of the Jordan Trail to Arab Dam. This section of the trail is especially beautiful and lush in spring (Feb-Apr). End the hike with a beautiful view perched along the rocky hills overlooking the water at Arab dam.

• 4

  Meal with a Local Family

  We believe hikes are best capped off with a locally prepared meal. Enjoy the delicacies of Northern Jordan cooking before the drive back to your hotel in Amman.

  Head Back

  On a happy and full stomach, we will drive back to your starting location.
