A little About Jerash

Step into the ancient city of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. Wander through its grand Oval Plaza framed by 56 Ionic columns, marvel at the Temple of Artemis, and imagine chariot races at the Hippodrome. The Colonnaded Street and South Theater (still used for performances today) showcase Jerash’s golden age under Roman rule. Known as Gerasa in antiquity, this archaeological gem blends Greco-Roman architecture with Middle Eastern influences—a must-visit for history lovers. #Jerash #RomanRuins #Jordan #Archaeology
