Jerash was a Roman provincial city of the Decapolis located north of Amman and these ruins date from the 1st century AD. It is the most well-preserved Roman city of the Middle East. Hadrian's triumphant arch was constructed in 129 to mark his visit. The city was abandoned in 747 after an earthquake. It was rediscovered as an archeological site in the late 1800's. The Cardo Maximus is the long colonnaded avenue through the center of the city. We had a great guide and never expected to see something this ancient and beautiful as part of our visit.Read more
