Jerash, Jordan

My exploration for the day, was a trip to Jerash, about 50 Kms north of Amman, Jordan. One of the first to explore the site of Jerash in the 19th century was Prince Abamelek. Excavation and restoration of Jerash has been almost continuous since the 1920s. Jerash today is home to one of the best preserved Greco-Roman cities, which earned it the nickname of "Pompeii of the East"
