7.Jerash:
A one-day trip from Amman, Jerash is one of the most famous attractions in Jordan and is often denoted as the Pompeii of Asia. The city of Jerash preserves an ancient Roman created city that was inhibited from the Neolithic times and settled during the Alexandre the Great reign. The city of Jerash, or the ruins of Jerash are known for four major sights, the Forum (oval Plaza where most concerts are nowadays held), the Hippodrome (where earlier horse-races were performed), the South Theater and the Temple of Artemis; yet there are 16 other important sights for you to see.
Recommendations for Jerash:
- Jerash is around one hour drive North of Amman.
- We recommend that you plan on spending around four hours to get to see all the city ruins.
- Be sure to wear a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes for your walk.
- A guide is recommended while exploring Jerash as you will certainly miss a lot of essential details if you would just walk it by yourself.
