Jerash
Jordan's Great Roman City
Just north of Amman lies Jerash, ancient Gerasa, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities anywhere in the world. Walking its colonnaded streets, past temples, theatres and a grand oval plaza, gives a vivid sense of daily life in the Roman Empire almost 2,000 years ago.
Highlights
Hadrian's Arch, built to honor the emperor's visit
The Oval Plaza, surrounded by a sweeping colonnade
The Cardo, the city's main colonnaded street, with its original paving stones
The Temple of Artemis and the Temple of Zeus
The South Theatre, still used for performances today
Travel information
Jerash is about 50 kilometres north of Amman, around an hour by road. Allow half a day to explore the main sights. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons, and comfortable shoes are essential for the stone streets.
