Good to know
- Do I need a Jordan Pass?
- It's the cheapest way to cover Jerash + Citadel entry. If you already have one, bring it. If not, we can help you sort it before the day.
- How much walking is involved?
- Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea — Jerash is spread out and the Citadel is on a hill. We move at your pace.
- Best time of year?
- Spring and autumn are golden. In summer we start earlier to beat the midday sun.
