Jerash

EnglishJOD JD2 walks

One of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities anywhere, a Decapolis town of colonnaded avenues north of Amman. Read Hadrian's Arch and the hippodrome, the oval plaza and the long cardo, the temples of Zeus and Artemis, and the theatres that still carry a voice. Best taken slowly, at your own pace.
