Jerash (Gerasa)

Jerash, also known as Gerasa, stands as one of Jordan’s most significant Roman sites, second only to Petra in archaeological importance. Inhabited for over 6,500 years, the city reached its zenith under Roman rule, starting in 63 BC. Today, visitors can explore beautifully preserved ancient architecture, including temples and an amphitheater, which offer a vivid glimpse into the region’s rich historical tapestry.
