Jordan’s Archeological Marvels: Historical Tour of Jerash |
|
|
Visit Roman ruins at the ancient city of Jerash in Jordan
| Overview | |
|
Explore Jordan’s ancient town of Jerash on this tour and marvel at its breathtakingly well-preserved Roman ruins. Jerash, located 48 kilometres north of Amman and nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead, is one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. Known as the ‘Pompeii of the East’, artifacts and buildings dating back to the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods can be seen in its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theaters, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates. This ancient city also has a rare distinction of an unbroken chain of human occupation, dating back to more than 6,500 years! Hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash is a spectacular site for re-creating Jordan’s Roman history.
